Post a pic of your whole car for a better reference if you don't mind.

That looks real nice & even, some lowering springs drop the rear of the car too much and you getting "sagging-****" syndrom. I would be very happy w/ that drop. Do you have a measurement from the bottom of the ground to the top of the rear fender edge?

Thanks, I haven't measured it yet though. I just thought it'd be slightly lower compared to others I've seen here with swift springs.

Ok, just measured and I'm pretty much right at 27" all around. Guess it's just me then.

Kampuchea, your G looks great!!! Everyone with the RWD Swifts are running the same drop. By the way, what are your wheel widths and offsets for front and back?
