Oh, if your car was on ramps...you are fine. I had to use a 18'' breaker bar to pop mine loose.

My 18" breaker bar still wasn't doing it for me.

I'll get the damn thing off eventually.

Just ordered some Hotchkis F&R sway bars for my sedan... Currently in the process of purchasing some Swifts.

That didn't take long

You needed a drop with the new wheels. It will look great

Daytime high yesterday was in the upper 60*, now that I have 300 or so miles on the PSS I was really able to push the car. Between the swaybars and the Koni + Swifts, the car already was really flat, the added grip of 245/40 and 275/35 tires is really just icing on the cake.

So. Much. Grip.

I'm in a really happy spot with the car at this point

Lego, Z doesn't believe in 3-season performance tires.

But he'll spend money on sways and springs.

I'll second that feeling. Four years into this car, and my 6MT just keeps getting better and better.

I'm so excited for the next 2 weeks. Tanabe exhaust, Swifts, and Hotchkis. Now I just need to purchase my SPC rear toe/camber bolts and make sure I'm buying the right kit.

I thought the AWD Swifts were a mild enough drop to as not need toe/camber bolts

I've heard several different things, but blnewt recommend them and said I wouldn't be able to get my rear toe back to spec. Any further insight would help.

Personally, I'd see where you end up before spending the $$

I'm on RWD Swifts, which drop more than AWD, and am close enough to not need camber bolts.

I'd also recommed he hold off on toe bolts and camber arms. Worse case, he ends up paying for two alignments... Which is a reasonable risk considering all the added expenses of additional parts and labor.

I was also on RWD Swifts for a year. Fronts were/are fine... Rears were 1/2" too droopy, and while the camber specs weren't consistent side to side, it wasn't bad.

That said, the AWD Swifts are a pretty safe bet.

Real professional.
I remember clearly, the guy in question not only hijacked the thread but was a jerk about it. Its called manners. When someone posts something for sale, only ****S go blaring in that the price on offer is over OEM. Only ****s do that. So, you want to call me out for calling someone out? smh...

I cleaned these babies last night and just couldn't resist taking a picture spring can't come soon enough, given the abnormal weather we've been having here in the north east lately, that might be much sooner than expected
