thought i mentioned to u already about the exhaust tips. u have to add washers to the hanger bracket (above the exhaust tips) to lower the higher exhaust tip to even it with the lower tip.

We had under half an inch of room compressing the springs to thread the top hat back on.

The exhaust is on 3 washers already and it's still uneven both height wise and length wise.

i think swift did dat on purpose as it doesn't run helper springs and not like them cheepo squishy progressive rate springs.

if axleback then most are known to be uneven (fujimura's are perfect length but required a few washers to get the height even). i thought u went with another brand that had even length tips? forgot the name.

We got 1 spring done so far. Woof.

We used nuts to even out the height on the exhaust. There's a good 1/8th length difference. One is flush with the bumper and the other is sucked in just a little

Getting better. At least we are in the VQ family.

Leingod · 05-14-2016, 02:45 PM

lol done!no exhaust is whoa....

The car is officially on swifts and the exhaust is intoxicating. Woof. What a day. Car is filthy since a damn monsoon basically came through the area. Some slight shakiness in the steering and the wheels are def unlevel, but I hope a basic alignment will take care of those issues.

I am insanly happy with the results. And the swifts take bumps even better than stock IMO.
