I understand swift seems to be popular.

what else are other people running ? and if u are, how low are those springs ? I'm thinking about going with 2" drop at the front with lowering springs but worried about the loss in strut travel. I usually don't like to take oem struts that low.

but I don't know the characteristics of the f50 suspension and struts, so I'm just wondering if someone actually is running lowering springs that drop 2" at front.

I'm running the swift springs. It's an inch drop in the front and 1/2" in the rear. The ideal drop especially in the front is not more than 2". Tanable also offers lowering springs and I believe Marksport F50 is riding in it.

thanks guys.

I'm considering getting some springs that give me 2 inches of drop at front but hesitant to run them with stock oem struts.

I can't imagine how fast my struts will last with 2 inches less in strut travel.

anyone running the front really low and how does your strut hold up ?

What all brand lowering springs are available for the F50? It's a damn shame aftermarket performance struts aren't available. The coilover's seem to pricey will have noise issues.
