Just now ordered mine. They could've been $301 shipped but I had bad experience with USPS.

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...

I love the swifts also.

Normal driving is as smooth as stock, but sudden dips and potholes are much softer. The ride is very enjoyable. Once you start to drive a little more aggressive, the spring feel very tight and there is far less body than before. Car feels great! I love these springs so far

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:

Actually these are linear springs. I think its the material used for the spring that makes it feel comfortable like it is.

I read about it but Ill look around and post up a link that describes it if I can find it again.

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.
