I put a set of CR dampers with these springs on my car last week, and took it out for a group drive. Exactly what I wanted for the car in terms of responsiveness and feel. (next up, stiffer sways)
This set seems to be one of the special sets as well, in that the fronts seem lower. I will do a proper measurement from the lower arm adjuster bolts soon. Everything was properly installed and pre-loaded though. Any updates from the folks that have spacers up front?
Here's the only pic I have from the setup, not the best profile shot to show front to back comparison, but still love the look:

Thanks guys! Good to hear from you both.
I measured today, and it's 1.25" lower all around from the adjuster bolts, compared to the lowest side of the original OEM range (which itself is almost a half inch variance). I didn't take a pre-install measurement, as dampers were swapped, so I'm just going to call it good. Time to take it out to the track...

The picture in my current signature is with KW Clupsports, but its very similar to the height with the Swifts. For a comparison my car is the top pic on Clubsports and the bottom picture is Sandeep on the Swift Spec R's

As you can see, almost identical. The Swfit's ride height really is about perfect! In person its a little easier to see that I am about 1/8 inch to 3/16 of an inch lower than with swifts.

Can someone with an AP1 and no lip installed measure how the nose gap to the ground? Could even measure to the license plate bolt hole too. Need to see how close or even IF I will clear the dip at the end of my driveway.

Hi guys so I've had my spec r springs for about a month now. My experience might help those troubleshooting some ride heoght issues going to 255 nonstagger setup.
Here's my ride ht on stock 225/255 setup (car is super dirty):
Perfect drop with even gap all around just slightly higher in the rear than the front.
And here's a picture on 255/40 square all around on 17x10 ce28 (again super dirty):
It's no gap at all perfectly flush up front and noticeable gapping in the rear (about 1.5 fingers) relative to the front.
This picture might show the gap a little better:
It seems the spec r springs were definitely designed for factory wheel setup. Now with how the car sits on the square setup I wish I could lower the rear some more...looks a little off to me
