Good site to buy swift springs?
 
Couldn't find any on zspeed, z1 or Stillen. Any other recommendations from a reputable distributor? Thnx in advance. Oh....if I'm a 14 sport do I need the whole go at it like control arms etc.... Or can I just drop it and be done with it?

Kamispeed.

Most likely yes, you will need rear camber links, etc.

Kamispeed.
I purchased mine from there. No Issues. Great response. Fast Delivery.

FLUJOKE 01-27-2015 01:16 AM

Ok so I asked around and some members are saying to everything else bc it's only a 1 in drop. Is this true?

After lowering, you are probably going to want wheel spacers and will most likely need rear camber arms and toe bolts. Front should be ok. When I did this, I went with Corner3Garage because they gave me a good deal on everything as a package. They offer a set of 4 wheel spacers for $100 when you buy springs. I have had no issues with the spacers. Shipping was quick and they responded quickly to any of my questions.

They're a vendor here. Find your lowest price and pm it to Jomer, he'll work with you to beat that price. I've purchased many parts from Jomer in the past this way.

Corner3garage is another awesome vendor :tup:

MAPerformance here in MN is/was selling them for $300 +free shipping. Looks like they are back to $314+free shipping.

I can also vouch for corner3garage. I bought my exhaust from them. Very good people!

I already have 20 r n 15f spacers w replacement bolts on sport rims. The rear is very tiny beyond the fender. Won't that be a problem with the tire hitting?

Your spacers won't be a problem. Many here, myself included, have had 20 F \ 25 R on sport wheels with Swift springs.

For rear camber arms, most will recommend SPL over SPC. Cost a little more, but a higher quality product. Some will say SPC is ok if you don't track your car. After looking at both styles, I went with SPL.

Don't forget the lockout kit and toe bolts :tiphat:

Wheels will come in a bit when you lower it. I have 20mm now, bumping the rears up to 25mm with Swifts

FLUJOKE 01-27-2015 03:59 PM

So if I just put on the springs and didn't do all these arms, and stuff how will it effect my car? I just figured 300 and boon dropped that's it oh and alignment.

Well just save up on frequent replacement of your tires.
As far as I know more expensive in the long run compared to buying the camber arms. Play now or pay later?

The toe will be off and your camber will be off. It's going to handle like crap and your tires will be toast in a thousand miles or so. You can't get alignment back into spec without the camber arms. Toe bolts are questionable, some say they can get it back to factory without them, using the stock cam bolts. Others say no. For $30, why not just get them and install while the car is up in the air.

Other than that, you're fine.

Seems the pic is broken. It's the kinetix package front and rear

I bought used ones. Did not get toe boots or rear camber kit.. But I did get spacers for the rear (aftermarket wheels). Read camber after alignment is -2.5 which is barely noticeable and causes no extreme tire wear and my toe is within oem specs

If you are doing swift springs, theres really no need for front control arms. Get SPC or SPL rear camber arms.

FLUJOKE 01-27-2015 09:07 PM

So can I just get away with spc rear toe bolts instead of spl rear camber arms

I guess you can try, but I think you're going to be disappointed with results.
