Post-Install Swift Springs Questions

Hammtastic · 01-02-2015, 08:32 PM

After installing my Swift Spec R springs, I am unhappy with the camber of the rear wheels. From what I am reading, the general consensus is to go with SPL camber arms and SPC toe bolts, is this correct?

Will doing the rear and not the front be an issue?

Here is my alignment specs after the install:

It won't be an issue. The right front is out of spec though.

Alignement (camber) after lowered
I'm assuming you looked at this. It's a couple posts down from yours in this section. From what I read up on,as long as you get "toe" back to factory specs,you'll be ok. Your alright with a little more camber than spec,but if your toe is out,it will chew through your tread quicker. I think people go ahead and get the rear camber arms because it gives them peace of mind getting everything back into factory specs. I myself am getting the rear camber arms,but I've been lowered on swifts for over a month without an alignment and there is no excessive wear on my tires,front or back.

Your toe looks good even with that negative camber on the rear.
IMO that is a good high performance track camber. Mine is like that even with camber kits but Im slammed with coils.

Its not bad to have just the rear camber kit with swift.

I am one of the lucky ones I was -1.9 in my rears without using any kind of camber kits

I'm running -1.75 rear camber for the track. Remember that the Z has a steep camber curve.
