I hear ya. This time of year, it's a losing battle until they're all down. But yeah, I blow my garage at least once a week lately. I have a love/hate thing going on with that old structure.

Your car looks so-o-o good, dragion. Great photos, as always.

Here's an interesting observation: look at the parking spot line on the pavement, which is almost perfect at zero degrees, and your car front to back looks perfectly parallel to that line. Now look at the side-sill extensions of your car. That sure looks like a forward pitch, wouldn't you agree?

Now look at the front-2-back comparison, altered so you can see the gap, and side-by-side here. Looks absolutely perfect, IMO.

LOL, red herring man but like I said, all in good fun.

I reached out to swift about this issue and heard nothing back so obviously it's a non issue for them. I just think it's a bit silly to charge the highest price for springs available for the G37 to have this sort of discrepancy. Oh well, no need to keep
but that doesn't mean I'm going to stand pat on this topic because people need to know what they are getting before buying swift springs for the RWD sedan. With that said, I do like how the springs drive and would recommend them for their comfort. In the end it comes down to what's more important for the purchaser.

Agreed. The RWD Swifts and the AWD Swifts are not the same. In fact, their website lists the AWD rear springs at a 1.0" drop, but the RWD rear springs at a 0.8" drop. IDK about actual pavement to fender, but if you're looking at wheel gap, then those numbers are total BS. Backwards, even. Very weird.

Yes, very comfortable. I recall thinking in some ways they were even more comfortable than OEM, but I'm too far removed now to make that comparison. And although I have scraped the front underside a few times, I've never bottomed out the suspension since they were installed. But I also don't jump railway cars and ravines in my G, so...

Ah, nope. That herring is still silver.

That's a great shot.

I have Swifts on an AWD also and I rellike like the drop. Not crazy about the ride but aesthetically it's where I want it.

Love this shot

Wheels don't look quite as loud under those lights and blend real well, I'm a fan!

There's a seperate "AWD" badge on the trunk of this car.

And I swear it looks like the inside of your trunk Fuji is red. Is it?

I really like the front lip on that thing. I sure wish my 09 had REAL fog lights. Nice looking ride all around.
