So what's the measurement from your fender to the ground through the center of the wheel? Stock height is supposed to be 27.87 in front, 27.99 in rear.

I'm about 26.75" front and 27" rears like the others.

Yea my fronts are 26.75 but then my driver side rear is 26.8ish and then passenger side rear is 27.2 ish... I mean the difference isn't immediately noticeable but I'm kind of wondering what might be causing it...

26.75 Fr & 27.00 Rr

So that would calculate to be a difference in drop for the Front to be 1.12 drop and for the Rear it would be 0.99 drop

Thanks, I can live with this as it,s only a gnats arse difference from the springs rated drop at 1.2 Front and 1.0 drop for the Rear.

Started my install tonight. Got the fronts on and the car is back on the ground. Looks great so far, definitely a noticeable drop. Going to do the rears in the morning along with SPC camber arms. Will post up pics when its finished!

Default Repost - OEM stock height and Swift height

Reposting this for those looking for the OEM stock height to determind how much drop Swift has and how much more they need to settle.
