The suspense is killing me, where are the pix!!!

Did SWIFT make you sign a non-disclosure agreement and a liability waiver prior to installation?

Spring have been on the car for two days now. I am very surprised with the right quality; virtually identical to stock. The springs in conjunction with the sway bars are amazing. I've never driven a car that handles this well.

I've taken all the measurements and pictures as well and sent everything to Swift. I want to make sure that they are happy with the drop before I publish anything online. Hopefully I'll get the greenlight from them today and I will write a review and put the pictures up.

No, I did not have to sign anything.

They didn't want you to wait 5 or 6 days for them to settle, or did they want the info that quick?

I am surprised that the Hotchkiss sway bars are considered "stock".........

They were okay with measurements after two days of driving. I did drive the car quite a bit and now it's been about one week and there's been no change in ride height in the last five days or so.

When I said the ride was "virtually identical to stock" I was referring to the comfort over bumps. Swift was okay that I had aftermarket sways as they do not affect ride height whatsoever.

hahaha Thanks that model is a friend of a friend and we did a little photo shoot with my car. Don't worry, I made sure that her high heels didn't scratch the hood!


Swift has asked me to hold off posting any pictures of the car with their springs and any measurements. They will be available for production in a month or so according to them, but want to test fit another set. I am amazingly happy with the springs but they want to make them even more perfect.
