Just as long as your alignment shows no toe then you should expect good tread life with those camber numbers. Again this depends on your road conditions and driving style too. No worse than stock with those settings.

I've been reading over the reviews here and Im hooked
Going order the Swifts along with two toe bolts. Hope that is enough, if the rear don't get under spec,will order the SPC camber arms.

You mean SPL arms.

The rear will not get to stock camber without arms. Get the arms. It's worth it.

My swift drop looks a lot lower than yours. But maybe it's the spacers that make the big difference.

I don't see how spacers would affect ride height. Are you running OEM wheels? if you are, perhaps the sunken wheel setup gives the illusion of being lower because of the shadow the fenders and quarter panel cast on the wheels.

I am finally installing my Swifts (salvaged from my totaled 40th) tomorrow. Oh yeah, Konis are going on as well.
