Default Swifts

Here's a pic of my Z with Swifts finally installed with SPL camber arms. No spacers or alignment yet. I always thought the pic of the Swifts on the grey vert in the Comparison thread up top was difficult to see the drop on the Swifts because of the poor contrast between the body and tire colors . Hope these ones are a bit better. I also posted this in the Comparison thread up top. 104

Does it make a difference if you get an alignment as soon as the car is lowered, or is it better to wait a few days until the springs settle to have the car aligned?

Yes. Generally you want to drive the car for 150 miles or so before an alignment.

So is it best to not do one AT ALL right after install?

I'm sure it would be fine. 90% of your drop happens as soon as you let the car down. Best to give it a few days. Even if your not driving,I'm sure the weight of the car helps them to settle as well.

I've had the car's weight on the Swifts 8 days now and driven maybe 60 miles.
Need to run out and speak to a couple of alignment shops then book an appointment. Once that's done I'll measure for spacers.
