Awesome! Drop is less than I expected but I am happy as I didn't want to go as low as the H&R's. 1" front and .75" rears.

Looks good! How has the ride quality changed? Is it more stable at higher speeds? Thats what I really want for my car, the stock sport package feels mushy and feels like its floating at high speeds.

The spring is a progressive and linear combo I believe so it handles great once you get on it. But it handles normal driving very nicely too. I had the Nismo combo on before and that was harsh as hell! This is nice and exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend them. I hope these don't go any lower as I think it's perfect the way it is! I might even get away with not having a camber kit installed. I am ok with some negative camber even if out of spec...

Springs have settled down some to about 26.75" in the front and still around 27.25" in the rears...

I also have some neg camber in the rear I need to address:

So do these springs definately offer a real noticeably increase in corning performance over stock? I am thinking about springing on them when they next become available except I am only really concerned with handling performance increases over looks of a lowered car.

Um yeah! They have 10K+ spring rates. The highest from ANY springs, even the Nismo and S-tune.

I agree, my dropped settled some more also. And the cornering definitely improved. The car feels less sloppy, and the body roll was minimized. I think these paired with some sways would be perfect.

That is awesome, thanks for the information! I am torn right now; should I do a brake revamp (pads/fluid) or should I go for Swift springs? Ah!

Depends when your budget replenishes Christian. I think the Swift Springs will have a 6-8 week wait before they are back in stock from what I heard. If you can squeeze in the brake-work beforehand, go for it!

I ordered a set last night and called to check after reading this, they had 2 in stock, so they have 1 set left now for anyone interested.

these are definitely be in my future.

tjlazer · 11-05-2010, 10:19 AM

I would order the springs now, or else you risk having to wait 2+ months to get another set... You can do your brakes anytime after with no wait time.
