I think the Swifts probably would be. That was my original plan, and in hindsight perhaps I should have. That said I love being able to tune the damping and tweak the ride height as I see fit. It would be hard to lose that ability.

I've looked at countless pics of Zed's with Swifts and there seems to be a variety of different ride heights, even though all the same springs. Some haven't settled I'm sure, and remember someone (think it was cooltoy - who really knows his stuff) mention that once Swifts settle you can add another .2 drop on to the numbers.

Those wheels bring the hotness!

...all true, my swift springs have settled nicely and I think the drop is close to perfect in the sense of... if I went any lower(which I would like sure) the streets in my area would have a field day beating up on my car

Moved my car over 5 spaces because the morons in our apartment complex still haven't grasped the concept of proper parking.

Filled up the tank today and took it for a little 40 mile spin. Saw an old run down garage, turned around and took some pics.
