Thats pretty typical from what I've seen for the most part... would be nice to see some comparison photos besides for the swift and H&R's.
I guess I should have just asked if any springs offer more than 1 inch drop??

H&R's by far...i have a set for sale if your interested..

My final settled drop for the Swifts came to 1.3" front and 1.1" rear but the H&Rs will drop the Z even further while being a performance orientated spring.

Im guessing since you have a set of H&R's for sale you switched to something else? what did you switch to and whats the ride height on those and quality compared to the H&R's...

Hmmm I figured all of the companies were performance prientated and I hear a lot of good reviews coming from swift (i think spec r) that have a 1 inch drop again this is from what I hear so dont shoot me

But yeah I hear H&R's are great but performance swift feels a little better.... but yea I guess most of it would come down to opinion...

I would be happy to sell you mine used for cheap... I am planning on switching to coilovers... The drop is pretty good, my photos may not do it justice though bc I have the Amuse kit on there which decreases my clearance as well.

Well I thank you for the offer but Im not planning on purchasing anything used, or even make a purchase until I even know what I want lol... but I will def keep you and the others selling their springs if I end up on a budget.

if you're looking for a big drop, look into coilovers.

Does lowering with springs require re-alignment ? I just go for looks, but does it do any damage in the long run, like unevenly wear tires and crap like that ??

yah, alignment is highly recommended if lowered more than 0.5" on this car. you'll also need camber kit on the rear for sure if you drop it that low.
