Yeah which ones do you have in those shots? Also what are you lowered on? And are those factory size tires?

The setup is OEM Nismo wheels 19x9.5+40F and 19x10.5+23R. The front has
a 15mm H&R spacer while the rear has a 10mm H&R spacer. I'm lowered using
H&R springs wherein the front is dropped further than swifts, but leaves a big
gap in the rear where the swifts look better. For the tires, I went with Bridestone's
RE-11, with a 265/35/19F and 305/30/19R.

Currently, the rear has a fugly gap which can be taken cared with coils, but
I'm saving up money to buy my buddy's volks.

Perfect, 15mm in the front looks perfect, my rear tires are factory size so I may go 15 in the rear too... Those pictures definitely helped though, thanks a ton!

Swifts drop the rear a little more, but I am just hoping they drop the front and the rear evenly, I hate the front being higher than the rear with the stock Nismo springs...

You're very welcome! Please rep.

You should be fine with the swifts but it will never go lower than what most
people expect. If you want to just close the wheel gap but not slam the car,
I'd save the money and go for coils. It's a mistake that til' this day I regret
not doing and hastened on lowering the car with springs.

I don't really want to spend all that money on coil overs when I would not be using them to their potential since I don't track... Seems like lowering springs would be better to just minimize wheel gap. Although I do want a drop that will make the gap look even or the front a tad lower if it has to be. I just hate the rear being lower.

Nice ride and setup!
I have a mirror image of it except for the springs. I went with Swifts instead..

Hey Jay, here's my ride with the Swift Spec R springs installed earlier today., H&R 15mm spacers front and back. 265/305 Bridgestone RE-11's. Hope it help with ur decisions.
The spring will probably settle a bit in a few weeks so I assume that drop will be a little lower. Happy hunting!

Wow. Very nice. Thanks for this! What are the exact size of your tires? and did you get a camber kit for the rear?
