Sounds like 21 based on profile, but could be wrong.

Good! Rarely bottom out anymore although I must admit I've learned where all the road deviations are around town. Still wish the spring rates where a touch stiffer.

You getting any closer to pulling the trigger?

Awesome. Did you go with the stiffer spring option? I am not at the moment. Honestly feel like it would oblige me to also get some 22's lol. Maybe when my current setup wears out.

IMO, you're right. 20's just look a touch small w/ this large of an SUV with a lowered stance.

I went with the standard spring option (not the swift upgrade).

I def agree. 22's look perfect. I wonder how you would like the swift setup. I believe Partha on here has them.

I swapped to Swift springs from the Megan springs that came on my SpecRS coils for my Infinity. I thought the Megans rode great and was worried about the ride quality after the swap, but the Swift springs still rode great but performed even better. Even with the Swift springs most people thought I was on standard suspension because it was surprisingly comfortable.

I have Swifts on mine as well and really like the ride, however they're on the factory recommended spring rates so I'm sure that helps. Running Swifts for several months now and no bottoming out issues so my theory worked for the linear spring to help prevent bottoming out!

Is there a notable improvement in handling/reduction in bodyroll?

Chiming in here. Love the BC's so far. I have swift springs and 16k. Ride is sporty and stiff, feels more planted (I.e handling, body roll is much better), and I don't bottom out for how low I am. If you aren't planning on going that low you can get away with factory rates or I'd even recommend 12k or 14k.

Very noticeable. The factory recommended spring rates from BC were 14/12k so I just went with those. The Linear spring certainly helps with the roll and leaning too. Very noticeable when preventing the car from squatting under load too.
