will this affect tire wear?

yah, there is a huge swifts springs thread in the suspensions section. check it out.

i run swifts on my dd and it is by far the BEST matching lowering springs to stock damper setup ive tried through decades of modding cars. usually i buy dampers with lowerings springs (like my G is currently running prokits + tokico d-specs which are adjustable dampers) but the swifts can be had with just the stock dampers.

and they wear very well through the season. no sign of rust through 3 years of road salt.

can't say dat with tein or them junk tanabe springs.

prokits handle weather well too btw...but u will want dampers to go with them.

Cost is a concern so I guess I'll end up with swifts. Do you still recommend the camber on the rear?

Yep. You'll want to do that at the same time.

I think there was a diy for it too somewhere.
Not that you'd need one.

It's not written in stone that you need to get front and rear camber arms. People will recommend it,but to be honest I don't have them and my tire wear is the same all across all tires,and that's after 8 months on them. Not to mention the natural camber looks good. When I got an alignment,the toe was able to be adjusted back to spec.

Cant go wrong with the Swift... I have them on my Z with stock dampers and SPC rear camber arms and I can tell you that is the best springs I use on my cars... And my Z is for DD use and track machine sometimes... Best of the best my friend!

Same here with the Swifts. They are pretty good with the stock shocks.

Some Eibach's tend to sag over time and they do lower the car more than the Swifts.
