Installed Swift FR-S springs this morning. Got a solid 1" drop on all 4 corners. Ride is pretty much just like stock if not slightly better. Big thanks to Randy over at Evasive Motorsports for getting me the FRS
Springs. Also installed Perrin master cyl brace and transmission mount. I don't have to double pump the brakes anymore to get good pedal. Will need track time to see if the trans mount helps while shifting with a lateral load on the car. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Smaller coils to the top.See my pic above. Not sure if the logo stamp has to be right side up but mine was.

Can anyone weigh the Swifts versus stock and count the number of windings for each? Thanks.

Just installed these springs this weekend. It's the perfect drop and I couldn't be happier with my choice. I was a bit worried about scraping on driveways (especially being in the city) now that I'm lower, but I haven't run into any issues or scraped at all yet.
Ride also feels great, definitely not harsh at all, just a tad stiffer than stock. Also sounds strange but I feel its less jarring than stock, like some of the harsh bumps are more smoothed out, whereas they hit harder on stock suspension. But maybe I'm crazy. Only thing I'm worried about is my rear camber, cause it looks way off to me right now. Will be getting an alignment next weekend.

Same here; front logos were upside down. Rears were right-side up though. (FR-S springs)

Edit: Nevermind. Just got an email from Swift. My springs are installed correctly, with logo right side up on the fronts (BRZ springs)

just fyi 45et and 245 tires will hit the lower spring perch on the front shocks, even more so if you add camber bolts. i was going to do the swift springs too but found that my wheel set hit the front shocks. went coilovers and now wished i didn't. the reduced suspension travel has me 3 wheelin it at almost every driveway i encounter.

im eating my own words. ive decided to get the swift springs and 3mm spacers. i hope the 17x9 et45 will still clear with the camber bolts.
but i don't know which ones to get FRS or BRZ spring rates. i will probably never to autoX and only occasional track days but I also dont want understeer. Quote:

if you like the tail loose then go FR-S spec. BRZ spec will make the car more neutral |
