Anybody tried swift springs yet?

Wondering if anybody has gotten a set of the FL5 swift springs and installed them on our DE5's yet. I saw a post of a silver DE5 on swift springs and ce28's and it looks amazing. Looks like a perfect drop.

Saw this post as well, looks spot on. Need to figure out which springs to go with...

Looks like Eibach is dropping their offering today.

Currently running fl5 swift springs on mine and can say it gives the same drop as the dreamworks car.

What tire/wheel size are you running? I'm torn between the einbach and swift. Do you have more photos showing more of the side and rear wheels?

Update: Set the dampers to Sport in individual and the harsh ride is gone. Totally dailyable now. The ride is now just slightly stiffer feeling than stock in comfort and feels very bmw M like is the way I would describe it. Going to hold off on installing the h&r's for now.

Installed the FK8 swift springs on my car. Here's the drop on Titan7 TR10 18x9.5 +45 with 275/35r18 Yokohama V601. The ride is too stiff imo for street driving now. Car feels like it's in sport+ all the time now. Planning to swap over to the h&r's for a more mild drop and more oem like ride.

Hey, with the 275's, no issues as far as rubbing, etc.? Was thinking 265's with Eibach springs, but if 275's work I may go that route. I would do same rim specs as you... Thanks for any feedback on this.

Thanks for sharing this. Do you hit the bump stops at all? And do you feel like the springs have made comfort mode redundant? I contacted Swift in September and they said they had a test car in hand. Hoping a DE5 specific spring will be a bit softer than the Type R ones.
