Actual Drop of Swift Springs

NORAIN · 04-28-2015, 03:08 PM

I remember mine being pretty close to what Swift claims. It's been a while since install and I know have bigger tires so it would be hard to do any accurate measuring.
How long have they been on your car? They do settle some after install. Have you been aligned yet? A change in alignment might make things different.

The springs have been on the car for almost 4 weeks and 350 miles now. I have had the car aligned twice (the next day after install and two days after that). Everything is perfectly within specifications except for front camber, which is -1.3 L and -1.7 R, and even that's not too bad. I have not noticed any significant (more than .06" or 1/16") change in ride height since install, and I've measured every few days.

It would be great to get others' ride heights with Swift springs.

As I mentioned above, based on my measurements, the rep at Swift told me that my drop is exactly where it should be, which would signify that the front drop of these springs is really about .75" instead of 1.2" and that the front ride height is higher than the rear ride height.
