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.

I emailed about the swift springs, but never got a response with an invoice. Would like to try and get in on the initial shipment of them before they sell out.

We aren’t sending invoices until the springs land in the states. We don’t want to hold anyone’s money without delivering.
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.
The pics of the Swift springs looked lower than I like. I'll have to what and see what different springs look like once they arrive.

I want to see exactly how they look first. Will Swift be making more than one lowering spring for the GRC? I'm in no hurry and I want to get the drop that I want. It looks like the Swift drop is around 2" and I would really like something around 1-1.25"

I've never known of swift spec-R's to go that low on any car. Usually they are at the 1-1.25" mark. See the attached pics..
i aint ordering crap till i know 100% they have it on hand and ready to ship. I can see the date being pushed again
I get where you're coming from. This is from Limit+1.
"Here's the bad news with full transparency, this entire prototyping to production process hasn't been anywhere near as timely as we initially anticipated. At this point, we are expecting to receive the container of springs Mid August and since they don't come pre-packaged from Swift in Japan, they will all need to be inspected and individually boxed. This will add some additional time. Due to this, we expect all orders to be shipped from us to you in Late August or Early September. We will not be offering cancellations or refunds unless for some reason we are unable to deliver. (ex. the boat that they are shipped on sinks)"
Exactly my point. If it gets pushed back no refunds. So i will wait

Thanks for the update!
Thanks. It sure looks like most cars are about an inch so that would be great. I'll still wait until I can see more pics of people after they have installed them. I would be very happy with a 1" drop at the most front and back.
Good info. A little lower than I wanted but I'll wait to see how they look when others get them. Luckily, I'm in no hurry.
FWIW I’m getting these Swifts over Eibachs because of feedback I’ve found on other chassis for track driving.
It seems to me for most chassis the Swift Rs are sufficiently sprung for track driving without enough roll for the tires to rub the body under hard cornering. I’ve read pretty mixed opinions on the Eibachs, some chassis seem fine, others rub constantly.
I think if you want more comfort and aren’t intended to track the car you’ll be fine with Eibachs but I plan on lapping 2 or 3 times a year. If I get more serious about tracking the car I’ll wait for Ohliens to drop their coilovers.
