Swift Spec R E92 with 18" ARC8's

Anyone with this setup care to post a photo? Beginning my build journey and want to run this setup for 90% street and 10% track. Mainly looking to see how the drop looks as I have read this is the perfect spring for this type of driving. Thanks!

I had this setup a year ago when I bought the car. Looked amazing with just the right gap, but the ride was horrendous. I live in bay area where roads/hwy are crap and at times my butt would jump off the seat when hitting a bump or groove. If you ask me not worth it.

Both photos have springs installed; one photo has big 275 Federal track tires and the 2nd one has 245 Kumho ecstas, much smaller

This is exactly my intentions with the car as well,1-2 events a year if that. Running Swifts combined with Bilstein B8 shocks and struts and I feel it's only slightly stiffer than stock...no complaints whatsoever with a nice drop (not too low, not too high). All other M's I've owned I've used coilovers but was an overkill. I went with simplicity this time around and don't regret it.
