Lowering springs

Has anyone managed to order the Toyota factory lowering springs yet? Looking to get my hands on the front and rear sets. Someone posted. Some on the Facebook page but the dealer I go to can't see them based off those numbers. Hoping someone here has the actual part numbers that will pull up on their parts catalog.

Hey @Limit+1

I have a couple issues. Your posts got me really interested in buying the spacers and springs so I went onto your website to attempt to do that. Obviously the springs aren’t available yet so I was going to buy the spacers in the meantime and get the springs when they were available. Well you were going to charge me $50 for shipping some spacers so I already ordered them from another site that shipped for free. Unless you want that to continue to happen, I’d suggest you be more competitive in that regard.

Issue number two, your posts say there is a shipment of Swift Springs on the way. Now obviously you’re giving the disclaimer that there is no arrival date but “on the way” implies that it’s going to be here pretty soon and that seems to be the expectation you’re giving people. Well I spoke directly with Swift Springs and they said the delivery date for THEIR shipment is looking like late August - early September. This wasn’t difficult information to get and I’m sure they’d share that with you as well.

I’m not trying to be a dick here but those things don’t make a great impression. As consumers, we just want to be told the truth and get a fair deal.

Hey Weezy, sorry for the late reply, just seeing this. For the spacers, unless you are out of the country I can’t see why our shipping would have calculated to $50. Our site uses shopifys basic shipping algorithm and we often find it under quoting. We typically see $16-$22 for spacer shipping to most continental US locations. Either way it would have been greatly appreciated if you could have brought it to our attention prior to going through another source. In the future, feel free to text or call us at the number listed on our site! As for the swift arrival date, we are attempting to have an initial pallet air freighted into the country prior to the container landing sometime in august. I don’t think that this needed to be public knowledge. We didn’t make any promises on delivery time, and simply opted to notify customers via email when the day of arrival comes. I’m sorry for your frustration.

Any pics of the Eibach springs yet? he Swift springs are a little lower than I want. I personally would like to find some springs in the 1"-1.25" range as that would be perfect for me. I just added a 15mm spacer up front and a 25mm spacer in the rear after removing the rear 10mm factory spacer. I didn't want to stack spacers. It very easy to find quality, billet aluminum spacers on amazon or eBay with free shipping. I installed Tanabe lowering springs on my 2017 Corolla iM 6MT that was a subtle 1" drop that was perfect.

Swift usually is in that range, and I don't expect these to be any different. The eibachs actually sit lower than the swifts on the GRC.

icecappedGR4, thanks so much for your pictures, very helpful!

Where did you order your TE37s from? I always look on evasivemotorsports website for various Japanese wheels, not many filters on that site though, makes it hard to sort through all the options.

What TE37 variant are yours? There are quite a few. I like the Volk ZE40 quite a bit too, thanks again!

I think in the past Swift offered Sport & Spec R springs in my old Evo days.

Spec R springs having more drop & increased spring rates vs the Sport springs.

I like the Spec R springs they offer for the GR Corolla but would also be interested in a more "mild" option.

Does anyone know the OEM spring rates vs the Swift Spec R spring rates?

Just a heads up, we currently only have 10 sets of springs unspoken for in case you are on the fence.
