Let us know how they are and share some pics. These are most likely the ones I will get.

Sure will. I was hoping someone would have beat to the punch. I will let you know. I will be tomorrow evening though. Probably won’t be done until after dark.

There's people that have been running the FK8 ones but the FL5 just came out. I dont think there's much difference but curious to know.

I was emailing swift about them and seeing if they could make a custom set at 0.7" drop instead of 1". They didn't seem to be interested but let me know these just released and shared this press release.

The drop in the pic doesn't look as drastic as Ive seen on others, but curious to know how it goes for you, or if the image was taken before they drove it and settled.

That is the first time see those pictures. That looks like less drop than the FK8. I was looking for more drop. We’ll see tomorrow.

Could be the offset of the wheels. I am running 23mm up front and 25 in the rear with factory wheels. I hoping it will clear.

Yes, they are nearly identical. If there was much change, I would consider switching from the FK8 set.

Yea you won't able to tell the 0.1kg difference in the back lol

The guys at Swift really pushed me to these FL5 springs. They insisted that this was the better spring for the FL5. I even argued we them on the ratings being identical and they insisted on the FL5 springs. We shall see.

Also curious to know how the ride is. Can't wait to hear the feedback once you get yours installed OP.

Springs are installed. Just pulling out of the shop 1 inch drop in the front and 3/4 in rear. Have not driven it down the road. More to come.

Cool picture pulling out of the shop.

Drive home was great. This car rides better than factory. The rear is 1/8 inch higher at this point. I’m sure it will settle out even. For additional information I am running 23mm front 25mm rear spacers. No rubbing. More to come. By the way, Swift was on the money and I am glad I went with the FL5 springs.

Curious to know which site did you end up getting the springs from? I see evasive has theirs on preorder till December
