I suck at photography! Hey dtran do I understand correctly, you installed the swift springs on koni coilovers? Your drop looks dead on man! I'm not happy with the front drop on swift springs alone. It needs a little less gap in front...

They (Koni) are not coilovers, and do not affect ride height.

I saw your pics, it seems that the fronts did not drop enough.

Im down to 26 1/2 with Eibachs' 1.2 drop, but Swift says theirs is 1.3???
You should be below 26 1/2".

Very nice man! Thanks for the info. I still need an alignment but IM guessing once I do, It will just be more money (camber kits) so I have been putting it off.

Got my swift springs in 2 weeks ago, rears were an easy switch front took some time, make sure u measure ahead of time to prevent rubbing, trust me lol. Anyways love the feel. To me it feels a little stiffer than stock but very manageable. When ppl take rides in it there is no discomfort. The only reason i noticed a change was because ive been driving the car for 6 months. If you're on the fence about these i recommend you pick them up!

anyways on to the (cellphone) pics!
BTW i just put the fronts in last night

Hey Dagon,

Did you trim the fender for the rears? It looks like I'm rubbing the fender and possible the bumper bracket on 295/30 tires 42 rims

Yes I trimmed the fender liner and shaved the bumper bracket while wheels were off but the bracket wasn’t necessary. I did this before so not sure if it would have rubbed or not. Fender liner is easy to trim with box knife and is probably what’s rubbing on your ride. Should be an easy fix and possibly trimmed with a razor with wheels still on. GL

what camber setting at you at for your rears? Did you also add spacers to the rears? I'm pretty sure I'm rubbing at the bracket because I put masking tape on it and see marks on the edges... For sure I'm rubbing the liner on small bumps/turns.

My specs are almost exactly like yours, except my rears are 42 instead of 45. I'm on swift springs with non-sport suspension and no spacers..

My rear camber is at -1.75 and -1.76
