Hey man, just saw the post. I went with Swifts and I love them. My car is my daily driver also, I'm a little more aware of where I drive now coming from driving a Ford Ranger to a 370Z and considering the roads in PR. But Swifts are the way to go.

I set up a appointment for them to look at it. He tried saying that sometimes lowering springs make noises, that's just what they do. He said his civic with springs makes creaking noises. But after hearing this I won't be satisfied until there are no noises coming from my swifts.

lowering springs should not make noises...especially quality ones like swifts.

Make sure they torqued the suspension components back into place too....

I'm sure they did it's a pretty reputable place. But I'll make sure they fix the noise when I take it back, I'm sure it's just the insulator needs adjustment. The first couple days they were no noises what so ever, so I'm guessing it just needs readjusting.

Just added some SWIFTS. I hope the front settles a bit more. Ride is about the same, I only drove about 15 miles to get it home until my alignment appointment on Tuesday.

Push the right pedal harder with your foot.

Most people can get back into spec with just the rear camber kit.

That was my case.

So I took the car in for them to check out the creaking noise, they said the insulators were all in the correct spots and they couldn't find any issues with the install. Their now saying some bushing may need to be lubed, possibly from the car being lower the bushings might be making noises. I don't know I may just put up with the creaking since it's only when going over bumps slowly in driveways.

The swift drop is perfect, but I am not so impressed with the handling at this point, the car just does not feel confident in speedy street cornering(by this i mean 60-80 range, I do not take it much more on the street). The front feels a little floaty to me, and the stock struts I do not feel rebound these well, even tho they are supposed to...I rather stay with a spring setup, this is a pure street driven car, might have to get the konis and see if that helps, if not off to coilover land.

I ran s-techs/tokicos on my 350, and it felt much better than this. The car was aligned to factory specs, been on them for about 4k miles.
