Got my springs & spacers on today, and loving them so far. Noticeable difference right off the bat. Doesn't harshen the ride at all and definitely reduces body roll, boosting overall road feel. There's a good amount of negative camber on the rear right now, but should be reduced once I get the car aligned next weekend after the springs have settled. Obviously these are a great buy for $330.

Drop with spacers

Rear 20mm

Front 15mm

Swift springs w/o spacers

Stock
Came out looking good! Do you think 20mm & 25mm would fit? Are you rolling on stock tires?

Hopefully I will have some photos up after this weekend of 20mm & 25mm on stock tires.

That negative camber should come out with alignment and put you within OEM spec. Now these photos look more like the 1.2 drop I used to see on my350Z with H&R springs. The tire is tucked under the fender a bit, it's what I expected to see. Is there enough room to squeeze 265/35/19 on the front with your 20mm spacers? How are the driveways?

Thanks! On stock tires here and I think 20/25 would be perfect. Might change it up to that soon.

You guys in the states are lucky! I put the swift springs on 2 weeks ago and have been trying to find a alignment shop in Hilo Hawaii. Everyone said they don't do lowered cars. The one person i found wants $200 to try and do it wtf!!! Anyone know how to do it yourself maybe i can attempt it.

I guess I will throw a couple in as well: Swift springs, SP Rays, and 20mm spacers.

Christian your car looks great!

I think after my alignment the car will look even better. Took a nice cruise today with the springs and couldn't be happier.
