Hey guys!!

Just ordered a set of Swifts from Mike at Corner Garage. He was very helpful in answering any questions I had and got me a great deal!! This is the last mod that I will probably end up doing and one that I really have wanted to do for a long time! I'm currently running 15mm spacers up front and 20mm spacers in the rear on stock sport Rays. From the pictures I've seen in this EPIC thread...these springs are going to look sweet!! Now I just have to get them here and installed!!

Someone needs to have this thread stickied because there is so much good info in here. At 81 pages...if you can't find your answer in here...then you haven't looked hard enough.

Don't speak too quickly, you will want to do the rear Camber Arms after the Swifts.... -2.7 will eat your tires too quickly! Good thing they are cheap and easy to do!

You should do Koni's also.

You should add a flamethrower as well... Just in case.

Nah...I'm alright with a little negative camber than stock. I don't see a point in a camber kit just to correct a little negative camber. If I end up at -2.5...fine with me!!

For those that have installed yourself...did you go by this DIY:

That's what I thought until I hit the alignment rack and saw the -2.8 on the rears! And that was max adjusted....

Not good for the new tires and especially not good for my 305's!

This is my contact area on the -2.8:
( car is on jackstands hence the skewed look of the camber)

Yes, that is a bit too negative.

Swift springs arrived today! Spent some time after work getting the rear springs installed and then will do the fronts tomorrow after work. I took the car for a quick test drive after I finished...and even with just the rears...the car already felt better and more stable. Here's a quick picture of the rear driver's side after the test drive:

I'll post more pictures tomorrow of everything else.
