I can tell. I see the evil that lives at the end of your driveway.

One of the reasons I've got this to install.

Cool awesome pics man!! and thanks for the advice! I guess the real hold up is me deciding on the spacer size lol i am definitely checkin out your ride and onzedge's. Im just having a hard time, don't know if I should do the 15/20 or 20/25. I think I am leaning toward 15/20 though haha.:icon17:

What tires are you running?
If you look at Onzedge's Z running 15/20 with the Michelins it looks almost the same as mine with stock tires on the same wheels running 20/20.
Spacers were a real tough call for me too. I didn't want any poke on the rear and I wanted to run enough spacer on the front to kind of 'match up' the look of the front to the rear.
I did Swifts, camber arms, toe bolts, alignment, etc before measuring for spacers yet measuring didn't really solve things. I eventually went with my gut which told me 25s on the rear would poke too much for my liking, or rather, make the rear appear different than the front. It's a tough call. The tires you run might make all the difference. Sorry to mess with you more.

Man its really bugging me lol, I've been reading up on it and looking at pics all day!! I've really been leaning toward the 15/20 I guess, but I didn't realize that the tires would make that big of a difference. I'm running stock tires too by the way.

There are a bunch of folks here who'll tell you 20s on the rear aren't enough, but that's what I went with. I wanted the look on the front to be a close match to that of the rear and wanted to be flush on the rear. No poke.
I sometimes think I could have gone with 25s on the rear but then I'd want 25s on the front. I was worried that I would have rubbing issues if I did that.

Is there any disadvantage to having the same size spacers in the front and the back? Your ride looks really nice I might go with the 20/20 lol no rubbing?

I can't answer that for you. Maybe someone else is able.

No rubbing on the front on mine at all. I also can't remember the last time I scraped anything on the underside due to the drop of the Swifts. I do take care over things that I think might be an issue, but I rarely drag anything. Better than I ever expected it to be. I thought I'd be hitting something everywhere I went. The ride on Swifts is so superior to the ride on the stock springs. Best mod I've done. (it is the only mod I've done, however)
You won't look back.
