Swift springs review!!!!!

I thought mine did, but I had the bump stop in wrong. Fixed that and the are just as quiet as stock.

Seems like all the issues people have been having are due to lack of attention to detail during the install process. Nothing but 'win' from mine....

No noise coming from my springs. I will be installing my toe bolts tomorrow to fix the issue I am having with scrubbing the rears off. Picked up dremel bit #115 for the task. Hopefully all goes well.

i run swifts on my other car which is my dd. drove all winter through salt and hardly washed.

unlike tein and tanabe springs where the paint started cracking off in one winter use, the swifts held up fine. the springs are wound very well to match the stock dampers too. i think this is the only spring manufacturer that actually tests the ride quality of the car.

the others (tein, tanabe, eibach to name a few) are like just eyeball the spring rate, should work.... and it doesnt.

I installed my spl rear camber arms but didn't need the spc toe bolts to get the rear back in spec. Now I just some front camber adjustment and i'll be good.

Well mine may be the tech at Firestone doesn't know what he is doing. But they said it is the best they could do to get it back in spec (which was 0.15 and 0.18 deg toe). When I got new tires installed last week at Nissan they said "our tech thinks he can get it in spec." I said, "can you guarantee that as in if you can't get it in spec I am not paying." They said "No." So I figure it would be best to go ahead and install the toe bolts and take it back to Firestone to get the toe dialed into 0 deg rather than to pay a shop $80 to try and get it in spec with the stock bolts. Right now I am only out $10 for drill bits and a couple hours tomorrow to do the install.

I brought mine back to the installer to try and fix the creaking noise, he even removed the suspected side again and greased the sleeve that's supposed to prevent the creaking noise. I got it back and at first I thought he fixed the problem, but after a day it started creaking again. It's not a biggie, it's only going up curbs slowly, normal driving I don't hear anything from them, so I think I'll just live with it.

Very strange it keeps doing that after several times of reinstalling it.

wheee!

You can always get the toe back to spec, but the camber will suffer or vice versa. You cannot get both back to spec without a camber kit and toe bolts... so either live with -2.8 camber or get a set of toe bolt and camber arms!

Rgr that. I already have the SPC rear camber arms on and the rear camber is 1.7 - 1.8 IRC. So toe bolts it is.

That's cool i'm not picking with you, I was just saying what mine looked like.

No worries. Perhaps you are running more camber with your setup allowing your toe to be near 0.

I know it's been talked about before, but does anyone know if SPL is ever going to come out with a front camber kit?
