what size of spacers with swift springs?
 

I'm picking up a set of swifts and some spacers tomorrow but I don't know which size I should get. What size should I get to set the car off nicely? 15/20? 20/20? 20/25? Using stock bridgestones and sports wheels at the moment.

20/25

i looked on stillen for the H&R 25mm DRS spacers, only available ones were the 25mm DRM. Is that what people are using?

Yep. That's what people are using.

If you aren't going to go with a front camber kit, I would suggest just going 25 all the way around. The 20mm up front pulls the top of the tire even with the stock springs, but the drop and resulting camber will bring the top of the front wheels in 5mm or so.

I'm running 20/25 on swifts with the sport 19s and my fronts are about 5mm tucked in up top due to the drop.

There's very little front camber change with swifts, maybe a tenth of a degree.


20/25 is the way to go.

I still think that 25mm is a bit aggressive, even with the additional camber in the rear. I prefer 20mm spacers all around personally, some of my car from the front and rear:

wow those look nice christian :D

i was originally thinking about 15/20 but i havent seen one with that in person yet. 20/20 looks very good.

christian, I love the looks of your setup. One question about your front wheels: With the 20mm setup, do you have any problems with rocks, road debris, etc being slung-up and hitting the side of your car?

Nope, none whatsoever. I have done some spirited driving with the SP wheels and spacers and have not had any issues and I am obsessive about my car to the point of OCD haha.

got 20mm all around and swifts today :D, how hard should the install be if i were to do it myself with an impact gun and spring compressor from autozone? My friend put spacers in his rear and it took him 4 hours. His rotor was stuck or something.

i got swifts installed 2 days ago. i have spc camber kit at home waiting to be installed next week. is it necsisary for spacers or is it just personal preference?

if i did get spacers would i need to get another alignment?

^Nope, you don't need to.

First time I've seen the 20/20 setup. Might have to do that.
