I've searched but there doesn't seem to be any threads. I know the Swift Springs are relatively new, but I was wondering if anybody with these springs could post the alignment settings after install.

Since these springs are more of a conservative drop than Eibach, I would like to see how the overall camber differs from an Eibach drop, preferable for a RWD coupe.

Thanks!

 

Search my posts. I posted up my alignment sheet.

 

Appreciate it partna. I found it:

Can't help but notice that your rear camber is so much higher (-2 ish) than the last poster who was less than 1 camber (almost within factory spec) with the same Swift springs.

From what I've read, I thought the Swift Springs would have less of impact on camber than Eibachs. I'm confused.

I know sometimes alignment machines can be off (not regularly maintained) and there's human error. But I was wondering do your rear wheels look tilted inward from behind? Were you able to correct the negative camber?

Which alignment expectations seem more likely with the Swift Springs compared to Eibach?

 

Huh??? eibach are 1" all around, and swift are 1.3" front and 1" rear...

 

I'm also on pretty agressively offset f14 20" wheels/275 rear tires. Not really looking to correct greatly as I suspect I might have to roll my fenders at that point. I am out of spec, but have been watching tread wear closely. Not noticing anything concerning. Still a relatively new setup though...

I believe some others are running the springs on stock 19's with a more modest spacer setup.

 

Eibach are 1.2 front, .8 rear
Swifts are 1.3 front, .8 rear

The drops are largely the same. Spring rates are different. Eibachs are a progressive spring whereas Swift is a linear spring.

As far as alignment specs go, most cars dropped on eibach are just out of factory specs. There hasn't been too much for swifts but since the drops are similar, you can expect the alignment specs to be similar. Several people choose not to run camber kits due the being right on the edge of in and out of alignment specs without them. I would still suggest running camber kits to get back into spec.

 

is it possible to drop the front 1.3 with swift springs and leave the back stock height? with that set up front and rear will be approx 27 1/2 give or take a little. just thinking out loud

 

Yeah man, that's an interesting question. The stock height in the front is like 4+ fingers, but the rear is half of that. If you wanted just to even it out and not drop the back, would the negative consequences be serious?

 

Suspension is one of those things where the more you can get a system to work together, the better the car will handle. With that said, obviously getting just springs and not a shock/strut to match with it isn't the best option; however, it's will provide a much better feel than 2 aftermarket springs and 2 oem springs. It's like running 2 sets of different tires in the front and rear. You can do it, but the results won't be nearly the same.

I've heard Swift/Koni combo is great or go with a coilover system. I am going Koni/Swift once my OEM shocks are dead (hopefully soon) lol
