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"...

That does look a little high in the rear. Even for not yet being completely settled.

There might be some binding of the rubber bushings at the pivot points in the rear. Was the suspension at it's...

Look up Bernoulli's principle and aircraft flight dynamics. Its the exact same idea.

Essentially, lift can be generated at high speeds by creating an area of relative high pressure under the...

I took mine off. They also scraped going up the rhino ramps I use. They've been sitting in my garage for 1.5 years!

I understand their purpose, but I haven't noticed any ill effects at highway...

Weird. The passenger rear is actually lower than all the other corners for me.

Just to add to the Swift height database, this is after almost 9K miles:

26.55" driver side front
26.50"...

Yep. But you can rent a pair from Autozone. It was a $60 (if I remember correctly) deposit that you get back when you turn em back in.

Actually I'd say you're ok with those numbers. Front is definitely fine as is. You could put a camber kit on the rear if you feel like it but -2.1 and -2.2 on the rears isn't bad.

I set my rears to -2.0 and love the way it handles. Don't be afraid to give it some more negative camber as it really wont affect tire life that much. Well, unless you go way out of spec like -3.0 or...

The compressors they have at autozone look really bulky. It seems like it'd be hard to fit the compressor's arms onto the tightly wound Swifts correctly. Did you have trouble with that?
