The majority of my videos are with my previous 275/245 tire setup. These new wider tires only have 150 miles on them. I’ll be taking them to the drag strip soon to see how they work out.
Swift Springs drop the front .8”. Drops the rear .6”. How do you figure it will be lower in the rear? 27” in rear and 26.75 front height w/ stock application.
You should bring your car up to Irwindale Speedway for our Thursday night drags. I have a 2010 ISF and would be cool to check out your car, maybe get in a couple of runs. Keep posting the info content/racing and maybe we’ll see you in Irwindale soon. ✌🏻
I’ve thought about it but the schedule doesn’t work that well with mine. I’ve heard the lines can be lengthy at times as well. I like running down in SD as I get a lot of runs in during a night. Hopefully ones of these days we can meet up, I always enjoy meeting other F owners! 😁👍🏻
great video! question: what was the handling and ride quality difference with the 3 different tire widths? did 255 fronts make the suspension bouncy vs the 225?
I don’t recall any of the sizes being anymore bouncy than another one. What I do know is the wider I went the more grip I had going into the corner. 225 were a joke!
I can’t thank you enough for making this! Do the Swifts completely get rid of the wheel gap in the front and tuck the tires? Or is the gap just very small now? Thanks!!
It would be more accurate to measure from the center of the centercap of your wheels. Deformation of the tire and tire pressure can make your readings inaccurate. Great video!
Thank you and thanks for the tip. The car has read this way with all 4 tires at the same pressure and with 2 different sets of tires. The current ones have only about 150 miles on them so I would hope they aren’t deformed. I’ve actually measured from the center cap as well and same thing. 😁
Nice, I'd like to ask you whats the actual drop for the swift springs. On Ebay measurement is 1 inch, take into factor of the engine's weight. I was comparing with Tien, and Megan , which would you recommend?
I believe that’s right for the front and the back was maybe .5 inches. They’re accurate to the advertised drop. I don’t have experience with those other springs but a lot of ISFs use the Swift springs.
I haven’t had any issues with the setup. No rubbing even during hard canyon driving. This information is only for my tires as it seems that tire sizes differ between manufacturers even though they read as the same size. Also, the 2012+ wheels are a 1/2 inch wider than the 2008-2011 wheels.
ISFASTER when you went to the shop, what did you ask for? Because I just asked Pep Boys and they said they only do factory alignment settings.. what do i tell them (shops) when I get these installed?
The reason why the car leans to the left is because it has swag
😂😂😂
Car looks great like that indeed. The fact that you get 285 tires on the rear helps you get better traction on your drag races, well done !!

@@ISFASTER it should help you indeed sorry ; )
Hopefully! Stayed tuned and find out! 😁
Beautiful car the Lexus ISF mine is in red color.
Very informative video! Nice job.
Thank you!
Awesome video review! Thank you!!
Thank you. I’m glad you found it helpful!
I feel it's because the road is slanted to the right for the water of the rain to go tothe right side of the road just a guess
Amazing looking car! Are the wheels factory paint or have they been refinished?
Factory finish
After a couple years with these springs, how is the ride quality in the front side?
Seems to be the same to me.
Swift Springs drop the front .8”.
Drops the rear .6”.
How do you figure it will be lower in the rear?
27” in rear and 26.75 front height w/ stock application.

For sure, maybe I’ll head down to SD one of these days.
B-RAD i would love to go to irwindale speedway.What days and time do they open for public.
The gas tank would add extra weight to one side and thus cause it to be lower

You’re welcome. Glad to hear you found it useful. There is between 1-2 finger gap with the spring in the front and 255/35/19 tires on the front.
ISFASTER Thanks, sir!
How's the tire wear so far? Do you think you'll need a camber kit?
It would be more accurate to measure from the center of the centercap of your wheels. Deformation of the tire and tire pressure can make your readings inaccurate. Great video!

What do you mean by bouncy? Does it feel stiffer? Or softer?

@@ISFASTER Thanks I'm getting thr swift springs. 👍
I love your car 🚗😍❤
Nice!!what kind of tires are you running?
Firestone Firehawk Indy 500
The stock rear 255/35/19 and it go to 285/30/19 no problems ?

@@ISFASTER Where did you buy your tires?
tirerack.com
Thank you rely, I have 2011 stock rim,plan to go 275 hope it alright
Thank you rely, I have 2011 stock rim,plan to go 275 hope it alright
can you sell the two extra swift springs you have? i am looking for set of fronts for mine
The 2 swift springs I have are for the rear only. The front swift springs are on the car and the black set you see in the box are stock springs.
Gotcha thanks
What kind of wheels do you have?and what size/width?
Stock 2012 wheels
Bud what size of tires are you running on the rear
285/30/19
Car looking clean bro! :)
U ever think about putting spacers on the rear to bring the tires even with the wheel well/body?
Thank you! No plans for spacers as the tires would definitely rub without fender modifications, which I don’t want to do.
Did you get an alignment after installing these? Or we don't have to
I did and it’s recommended.
ISFASTER ok thank you! Sweet ride btw. Wish I could have gotten yours (12+ ISF) I have an 08
Glad to hear you’re in an ISF though!
ISFASTER when you went to the shop, what did you ask for? Because I just asked Pep Boys and they said they only do factory alignment settings.. what do i tell them (shops) when I get these installed?
I asked for factory alignment.
Hows the overall quality so far? Any issues?
They were good for the nearly 4 years I had the car.
@@ISFASTER thanks 4 sharing
what about tein springs do those work on 12 isf thanks
If they’re made for the 2012 ISF then I would assume so.
@@ISFASTER when you installed swift, did you install camber kit or anything else? thanks
I have the upgraded lower control arms from RR-Racing as well. No camber kit though.
@@ISFASTER do you think i can get away with just installing swifts with bilstein and not have to do anything else? thanks
If they’re both made for the ISF then I don’t see why not.
What tires do you use to racing??
Firestone Firehawk Indy 500
ISFASTER ok man thanks
See ya lol
