Its almost to the point now where I'm considering other suspension options because the drop is just too low for normal street driving.

I'll post some pics tomorrow...

post some pictures, if it's any lower than it should be I send them to Swift see if there's a problem.

Here are some pics of the front. sorry for the low quality. I didnt snap any pics of the back, but the back doesnt concern me because the drop looks fine... but let me know what you guys think? Its sitting pretty low in my opinion.

P.S. They didnt appear this low right after installation. They looked like everyone elses... but they just progressively settled in to what you see here.

^Looks pretty much just like my drop. If its lower its than mine its only by a cvnt hair. Here is a pic of mine, its from kinda far away but you can get an idea of how low my front is.

Yeah, I contacted Swift and apparently I'm right within the expected drop range after measuring from the center of the hub to the wheel arch, so I guess everything is ok. The drop is just a little too low for my own taste. No complaints for the spring performance or operation though.

yea you should have a approximate 1.2 inch drop

Personally I feel the drop is about as low as you can go and still have semi reasonable ground clearance. I scrape frequently but its most only the stupid front plastic diffuser. I believe the Swifts are a smaller drop than most springs on the market. I know for instance the H&Rs drop considerably more. 1.5 in the front I recall. Possibly more. The Swifts will ride better than any other spring you can buy for the 370.

Its good to hear the springs go lower than Phelan's car. His car's height is good for daily driving but not for shows. This, however is exactly what I want, how does the swifts compare?
