Dropped on Swift's Sport Springs
#31
Thanks for sharing Bota.
Makes me feel a bit better knowing that a camber kit will not be required.
Took another trip to Royal Wheels & Tire today to get my GTR Rear Overlays installed by their tint guy...results were not positive.
Left disappointed due to fitment issues...waiting to hear back from Andy (Blue Batmobile).
It was pissin' rain and the drive there and back was a lot more pleasurable with the Swifts...handling/braking extremely well.
Felt more controlled and deep puddles weren't problematic...only the darn pothole underneath the water was. Impact was a bit shocking and had a couple of thought of maybe bending a rim due to the loud noise.
An alignment looks to be required...the vehicle is pulling a very slight to the left.
Could maybe be the rain causing the feeling of not being straight?
Now I find myself doing a look back each time I leave her...just to admire how much better Selina looks!

If overlays don't work, John @ RWT will help paint them for cheap...they might not be GTR style, but at least they will be smoked.
Maybe PM me with the instructions anyways...just in case.
Thanks!

OP that looks great. I can't wait to do the same thing to mine in a month or so. This car just does not look right with the huge wheel gap on the X's.
On a side note. Man, that sticker really has me thinking. I hate decals, but I'm unusually attracted to it. It really just looks right. I just can't shake the scenario of somebody asking me what it stands for. I feel no matter how you say it, it's still gonna come out like the "I like turtles" kid.

What makes it so appealing is that it's simple and clean...by the way, I own a turtle!

To help with the perspective between the Before & After shots, I've stacked them into the same image, and rotated for the same alignment. Then applied a gamma correction to bring out the shadows so you can better see and compare the gap.

Much easier to compare the before and after.
I went to my local carwash Waves located in West Roxbury, MA today.
I wanted to know if the Swift drop would be too low...and I found out that upon entering the wash the front end was clear, but once it reached near the rear there was a clankin' noise!
Something wasn't right and both of the attendants shouted out with a ooOH!
Once the car was fully inside the wash bay it was fine.
Coming out of the wash was problem free.
I quickly pulled over to the side to inspect if there was any damage...none visible.
I think that the mid-pipe might have rubbed against the inside rail of the wash...that was the only part I could see that could have had contact.
Any ideas?

The flange between the cats, and Y-Pipe is always the first to hit.
I know!!

Never taken my G through a car wash before. I don't trust them.
