As that picture clearly shows, RWD Swift springs are droopy in the rear, making the front to back comparison to the fender look inconsistent and awkward. More accurately said, the G-Sedan itself is droopy in the rear by about a 1/2", and aftermarket springs designed for the RWD G-Sedan don't take that into consideration.

AWD Swift springs don't seem to have that problem. Don't know why that is.

Ah, right. I stand corrected... it's Hooters, not Burger King.

True but the drop is even. The cut of the rear fender makes it look a little droopy.

I measured the ground clearance from the Jack points front and rear and they are almost identical.

Lookin good man! I think it turned out nice. The droop in the rear isn't as severe as it is on my convertible.

Yeah if you get some extra cash some bigger wheels would probably add quite a bit to the overall look of the car with the drop.

I'm also a huge fan of getting some drilled and slotted rotors once you get to modding your wheels n stance. You should check out brakeperformance.com they have the best prices.

That's exactly right. If you create a balance front-2-rear on floor-2-fender measurement, you introduce an imperceptible rake to the stance.

No offense intended on my comment, Dembflyr. Beautiful car.

No offense taken. I was just clarifying in case someone was wondering why it looked droopy.

Thank you for the compliment.

When I dropped my G sedan I did it with my stock 17 wheels. I went with wider tires all around. I put 235's all around and it really helped with the look.

And the fact you have a red sedan makes it that much more sweet.

Hey Rochester..

I dropped mine with swift and it looks like front sides are more dropped than rear. Any idea?

Nope. All I know is personal experience with Swifts on the RWD Sport G. From what I've seen of Swifts on the AWD G, the fitment is near perfect. So IDK what to tell you.

That looks fantastic! Did you do any headlight mods? It looks like you have the sport/dark ones but you have the non-sport wheels and front.
