Here are the pictures as promised, just taken today. Is this considered slammed? This is on Swift Spec R with Koni yellows on the lower perch, no rubbing issues whatsoever. I use my car to commute 80 miles a day.
No low offset stuff for me.

Looks perfect itsmekevin can you give us a review how you feel about this setup compared to stock. Did you adjust full stiff or full soft? Did you got an alignment yet? I'm in Fullerton are you local I would love to have a ride. My s is daily driven mainly canyon runs and maybe a couple track days a year (haven't gone yet) so I feel this set up would be perfect for me

I decided to upgrade my suspension because my stock shocks were blown, even on the stock springs. My car has about 123k miles on it at the moment, so it was time for new shocks. I was contemplating getting full coilovers, but I didn't want to mess around with ride height too much, and my car isn't a dedicated track car, so Alex at Ballade Sports suggested Swift Spec R.
My car hasn't been aligned yet, it's only been about two weeks since I got the new suspension installed, letting it settle and should get aligned soon. The Konis are at the middle settings right now, and the ride is pretty smooth. Feels almost stock, a little firmer over bumps in the road, but very smooth on the highway, even with my commute into pothole ridden roads in LA. Body roll has been significantly reduced in hard turns etc. I'm not the greatest at describing and comparing. I'm located in Fountain Valley if you want a ride sometime. I'm free on the weekends. Hope that helps.

Not the best picture but it's on! The springs are still settling but I had to leave on a trip. Just wanted to keep this updated.
The ride feels good. I would say better ride quality then oem springs (but those springs were I'm sure past their due dates)
8.5/10
The tires didn't run at all at first but the springs started To settle a little and the rear tires are now rubbing. (Thanks god I didn't go lower perch)
I am going to get my alignment as soon as I'm back in town. Hopefully that will help.
I personally love the height. I haven't attempted to hit a speed bump straight on yet but I think it might just barley clear.
Tires tuck under nicely it's a clean look in my opinion.
Can't wait to take better pictures once my springs settle
