I'm running the Work Emotion CR Ultimates... the new 19".

Here's a close up of the rear. That's a lot of gap for my taste.

Wheels look good on the car. But yes, I also agree that your Z needs to be lowered a little bit more for that setup. Maybe I can help you out. What are you trying to accomplish with the car? and how much lower do you want it to be? PM me if you like. Thanks.

Anyone have a bare minimum setup for re-alignment after swift install? I like an semi/aggressive setup. The fronts I know can't be adjusted unless you buy something but I've seem around -2 camber which is fine with me. As for the rears I've also seen them -2 or more so I was thinking SPL lower camber arms and I might be ok then.

Saludos desde Cayey, Nice to know there are some folks from Puerto Rico here, we should gather sometime. Anyway how does the car handles in these roads of ours, I would like to lower mine, but still debating. im sure I'll be scrapping all the time

Does anyone have an alignment spec after installing these? I want the specs before an alignment was performed on OEM components.

After installing swifts I was at -1.5 front and -1.9 rear camber (before alignment at ~40 miles).

I can't remember what the toe was unfortunately.

Edit: Found the sheet

Front Toe= 0.08" passenger and 0.09" driver side
Rear Toe= 0.11" passenger and 0.11" driver side

this is all before the alignment

The springs settled after the alignment and camber when another 0.1 to 0.2 degrees out

Damn was hoping for more so I didn't have to buy front arms. Thanks

It's really going to be a case by case basis. You might get your within spec & then again? Who Knows....Ask Who

Hey man, just saw the post. I went with Swifts and I love them. My car is my daily driver also, I'm a little more aware of where I drive now coming from driving a Ford Ranger to a 370Z and considering the roads in PR. But Swifts are the way to go.

You definitely feel that you have springs, in that there's no body roll and the car doesn't hop all over the place like you see some cars over here in PR. Let me know one day if you want to look at the car and maybe pull the trigger on the Swifts.
