So what's the point in installing new springs if the car doesn't sit any lower? I had this issue with my cobb springs, the front ended up pretty close to stock height so I cut a coil off to lower it evenly with the rear
Have you got a photo with the swifts installed? I'm disapointed with the height of my Cobbs... even with the front cut 1/2" lower
This is how it sits now

From what I've found there isn't any decent spring options for Bilsteins. I've got Bilsteins and Cobbs and had a similar problem to you with the rear sagging and feeling soft. I cut a coil off the front springs which lowered the front around 1/2 inch and the car drove much better. Now the rear doesn't sag on acceleration like it use to. I think the problem is the level of the car, not the stiffness of the springs
They won't be only in the front. However the fronts run different top hats which make the front of the car sit around 15mm higher than what the aftermarket spring company says they will
I've got JDM 2.0GT factory bilsteins and they look the same as the JDM SpecB externally, but the ride is a LOT different between the two. The JDM SpecB shocks are way too stiff and had many complaints, hence why they softened them in the 07 facelift
That sits really well, so with the Bilsteins my front should sit around 0.5-0.75" heigher than that? Why the hell do Bilsteins have a heigher front and same rear??
