Any cons of lowering springs?

Knio · 06-04-2015, 11:37 PM

I found my alignment sheet.

The fronts are a little out of spec, but I'm not having any tire wear problems with them.

Rear toe is fine, so I'm just going to do the arms and no toe bolts.

The Eibach springs arn't quit as low as the swifts, so you might need more with swift?

Was this done at a shop or dealer?

I run 305's and they were able to get it close enough that they didn't feel the additional cost of the toe bolts installation was worth it, you will need the arm's though.

With swifts I would at the least spend a little extra and get the SPL rear camber arms. My front alignment came just close into spec so I didn't buy any extra parts for the front.
