So, it looks like just your camber is out - 0.1 in the front, and very close to the edge in the rear. If anything, I would look to do something for the front. Toe and Caster are good.

^^ I hear ya, but honestly, they don't come from the factory in the center, and your car could have very well been at the other end of the range before the lowering. Camber is camber, if you have any you will get more wear in the inner side, with less camber it will be less (width) of wear, but you will still get wear. Look at the benefits you will get on turning grip. :)

Question for the forum..... I have had my springs installed for about 1.5 weeks. When I go over speed bumps and similar road changes at a slow speed my springs make a creaking sound. I imagine it has to do with the way the springs are sitting in the rubber. Is this cause for concern? Should I look at rotating them within their seats? Thanks ahead of time for any replies.

Mine makes a creaking noise too. Lou@amplified said it's chassis flex?

Hmmm no creaking at all here. Did you install the rubber spacer on in the top middle of the front springs?
|
JJ nismo, who did your install?

anyone else with the creeking sound please let me know so i can talk to swift about it. As you guys know that the springs rates on the swift spec r are pretty stiff at 10kg and 10.5kg and they usually can cause some "creeking"

Lou did my install and is the man when it comes to customer service. I spoke with him today and am going to stop by to get a better look at it. My front springs make a noticeable creaking sound whenever I go over any bumps at slow speed. The noise has gotten somewhat worse and I tried to take a look at it tonight. From what I can tell, it sounds like the spring is shifting or rubbing against itself during the compression and release. This would make sense if Swift left out the spacers that TJ is talking about. Any pics TJ? I am wondering if the sway bar bushings may have loosened up as a result of the change in stiffness or if the springs shifted and are not sitting properly. It could just be that the bushings need to be lubricated or the isolator is off? My Nismo stock springs were pretty stiff to begin with so I am hoping that is not the issue. What are the inserts that were supposed to come with the springs? My flashlight died tonight lol and I can't get my car in a good position to take a look. |
