^ Look a few posts up. My blue 370 is dropped on swifts. Thats what itll look like

Def not as low as the pic you posted though.

It seems as if the drop is not consistent with swift? It looks as if RedZed's is a bit lower (what I'm aiming for). The angle of the photo is sometimes misleading for me too as it looks lower in some photos and higher up in others. Perhaps the H&R Springs are what I should be considering instead?

H&R will drop lower. Reds drop and mine are just about dead on, if not dead on. H&R will "look" better I suppose. Depending on what "looking" good is to you. Swifts will undoubtably be better performing. Personally I see consistant drops w Swifts.

Yeah, going any lower than the Swifts will just compromise performance as well as drivability on stock struts.

Its the angle, with stock tires, you'll get a 1.5 finger gap up front and 2 in the back. The drop is perfect in my opinion. I am extremely satisfied with the drop and performance.

It also depends on things such as wheel offset (for those with aftermarket wheels), the size of the tire (width and sidewall height), the amount of camber, and the angle of the picture. This can make some setups look slightly lower while others look as if the drop is not quite as dramatic. For me, I could not be happier with my Swifts. I wouldn't mind another .2" of a drop in the rear though.

Drop with spacers

Rear 20mm

Front 15mm

Swift springs w/o spacers

Stock

That looks great, thinking of doing the same. Any issues with rubbing? Do you think going to 20-25mm would rub? Thanks!

Mine sits lower in some pics because of the tires I was running with the ssrs. I was dropped another inch beyond the swift drop.

@Tauruszguy, looks good. You could have gone 20/25mm and no rub. I agree that tires do have effect when looking at different rides with the same spacers. I am happy with the way my swift/spacer/camber kit/tire combo has worked out. The combo is great. Sorry no pics, but if you search my recent threads/posts you should find some pics.

Great looking car - Tauruszguy.

Mine was actually about 8mm lower than the "expected" swift drop before I swapped my rims, then another 26mm lower with the new tires.

After my swifts settled. Not the best pics to show the "stance", but you get the idea.

Also has 15/20mm spacers and 265/35/19's and 285/35/19 RE-11's
