Swift springs review!!!!!

Zrider79 · 10-22-2013, 08:29 PM

anyone on swifts with 19inch 9.5 +12 offset in front ? if so provide details, tire size, if fenders were rolled or pulled, and if any pics of stance ?

Would y'all recommend ordering both the rear camber kit and toe bolt then?
I'm thinking or ordering:
Swift springs
SPL rear Camber kit
SPC Toe Bolt
Some brand of 20mm spacers??

Sound about right?

I would say get your swifts and wait a couple weeks then get an alignment. See if you can get back into spec without all that stuff. I was able to go back to factory sodcs without all the extra stuff, so I saved ~$500.

Alright thanks I'll give that a shot first.

What brand spacers is everyone using? If i do 20mm all around can I get the regular bolt on ones or do I need spacers with the extended studs built onto them?

Look at H&R, Powertrix, or Z1. Some will argue that the stud replacement type are safer, which is likely true as it has less failure points. With that said I was running Powertrix 20mm bolt on type with no issues for nearly a year before I got new wheels. On a street setup I think you will be fine either way long as you go with good quality spacers.

Ok will most likely go with bolt on then since car only sees street.

I have the Swifts with 20mm front and back, during hard right turns at high speeds, the left front will rub a little, not a big deal, if you are not pushing the car hard or going over bumps while turning hard lefts, you won't know. I have the stock Bridgestones w/Sports Pckg 19inch wheels

20F/25R on Swifts that have not settled - occasional rub on big dips going highway speeds (~70 mph). Houston doesn't have the best of roads though...

Ugh...and I forgot to swap the rubber sleeves from the oem springs to the swifts. They should have it preinstalled on the swifts.

I got Z1 bolt on spacers during black Friday and I havent had any rubbing issues, however I have base wheels.

Also to weigh in on the bolt on vs extended stud thing, I believe extended studs are safer, but bolt on are more than safe enough. At least for the Z1 ones, theyre built really well. That being said, I have almost brand new H&R 20mm extended stud spacers for sale (4 of them total) that I haven't taken the time to put on the for sale thread yet. $100/set (2).

I went with corners spacers since they had a deal when purchasing the swift springs. I made sure to use a dab of loctite and retorqued after driving around for a day.

I don't think they're safer. Not unless you can guaranty the strength of the stud extending. Seems scary to have that long of a stud holding your life on the line. Bolt on just seems safer. I've never had a wheel fall off so neither will the spacer or wheel and spacer.

I just got my swift springs installed today and with me sitting in the car FL was -1.5 FR was -1.7 camber. The rears were -1.5 on both sides with camber arms, my question is how long realistically speaking can I expect my tires to last, and what are the stock spec's as far as camber is concerned for a stock car?

wheee! · 12-23-2013, 11:48 PM

Did you do toe bolts too? You will need them if you want the tires to last a month...
