Anyone have TSW Spring pictures and information

Ok, so I have Swift springs, but I am considering getting rid of them and getting TSW's. I originally was going to get TSW's, but I wanted springs and at the time, there was the issue with the V3's raising the front end and still lowering the rear. Saw some pictures, and I personally definitely couldn't ride around like that.

I LOVE the way the Swift springs look with the drop being even all around, but they are/can be pretty stiff for the area I live in since the roads are terrible all over.

I've searched over and over and can only find a few pictures scattered about, so i was wondering if anyone has TSW Springs installed that doesn't have the issue with the front raised and if they could post up some pictures. I am on 17" wheels with stock size tires, so if you have 17's even better.

I'm getting ready to install Powerflex LCA bushings, Powerflex rear trailing arm bushings, Koni Yellow's, and a HSport Comp rear sway bar, and I'm just trying to decide if I should keep the Swift Springs or swap to TSW IF the problem has been fixed.

Thanks in advance!

I am on 17" web-spoke on 215/45 17, so just a little bit of a taller tire then stock. Give me a couple weeks and I will get you a picture of the newest TSW springs.

215/45/17 is the tire size I plan on getting when my current 205/45's are dead. Did you just buy a new set of TSW? Did you talk to Way to find out if he resolved the raised front issue? I may call him to ask while I decide.

I really just need to figure out if Swift is the right spring to keep. I want something slightly more comfortable, but I'm not going to FSD's or stock ride height. I have a set of brand new HSport Springs too, but I read a lot about them sagging and I really don't want to deal with that.

I also don't want my car any higher then it is now, which is roughly 3/4" drop. So Tein H-Techs are out.
