The GTSPEC rear lower tie brace kinda like a sway bar? I have bc coils and my ride is super bumpy. was thinking of getting cusco strut brace on front and hotchkis sway bars will either of those help?

i have springs for x sedan behind me but have been so hesitant to install as i expect ill need:

1. new struts/shocks (front and rear) OEM, KYB, or MONROE are the only options for awd sedan

2. camber kit, and all types of bolts for the alignment

just didnt think of these until I bought the springs lol

How many miles on your OEM shocks? If you've got 50k or less on your strut/shocks you should still have decent life w/ the Swifts mounted on them.

Seems like most that have done Swift drops have been ok w/ just a rear camber/toe kit. If you can DIY the install it shouldn't cost too much (about $200) or you can take the cheaper route and run new camber bolts and toe bolt (rather than the camber arms) this will require a dremel tool to elongate the toe bolt slots and the camber arm "bolt" slots, this is about $60, this will get your rear camber & toe in-spec. You can get the front toe in-spec without aftermarket parts and running a bit more camber should still yield reasonable tread wear.

got 82k on my odo .

a shop offered to do the install and alignment for 300.

i requested to do the install then wait a week for an alignment but fear i may have more expenses re bolts and camber arms...
