Id wait and get both at once.. It would cost a lot to get springs done and then change out the struts later if you are paying labor...if its DIY then go for it to get experience workin on your car...
Or just get a new set of summer tires (and maybe wheels)...it'll make a huge difference

The springs are backorder 2-3 months. I'll wait for struts then do them at the same time.
2 sets I can get right now.

Stock shocks are not meant to operate in that low range so that's why people are saying they will blow.
Swifts are awesome, quality springs. But I don't understand the comment about left/right hand drive... front springs are identical and can be swapped back and forth. The idea is to put the taller of the two on the drivers side (if a difference even exists).
If the H&R lower like the Stechs, then they are for aesthetics only. It actually makes handling worse.

The difference does exist. But you'd have to own the car for a 7+ years to really tell the drop on the drivers side. Since the spring rate takes into account the weight of the driver if it was in a Japanese car, hence Japanese springs. I've had them on my car as my only set of springs along with kyb's years ago. It's a good drop, probably near 2inches on the front and I still run them on the car.

I don't think 9.5 wide will fit without coilovers.
8.5 is usually a good width for stock suspension components, but not sure about offset for your car either.
@iLogin I couldn't tell on my swifts at all.
