Swift springs review!!!!!

Tigger · 05-31-2013, 02:31 PM

Just ordered my Swifts last night along with just two toe bolts. Hope that is enough. Not going to lose money on over-ordering if I don't need it. Done too much of that recently. o_0

I've read most of this thread and it seems people install and drive for a couple of weeks to let the springs settle. Ususally alignments are pretty damn important right after an install like this. Does it just not affect the Z to the point of making it dangerous to drive?

Just a tad nervous about doing that. Kinda like installing my oil cooler that's been sitting in my house for two months because I've never messed with something like that before. I'm such a b***h.

You'll be fine driving for a couple weeks, it's what I did with mine (only because it took me that long to find a shop around here that could get it on their lift..lol) It's not dangerous to drive (mine actually handled a whole lot better before the alignment due to all the negative camber...lol). FWIW, I didn't need the toe bolts, they were able to dial my camber in right at the limit of factory specs. Some people get lucky, some don't.
