swifts and 20s

Just got some swift springs and some concept ones put on. 20x9 offset 22 and 20x10.5 offset 27. Had some bracket trimming and fender lining trimming. Thinking I need a little more negative camber. Im really liking the rims, they are machined faces with gunmetal.

Rear camber right now is -2.14r and -2.18 L. They said this is as far as they can go to be able to keep toe in line. If I want just a little more camber, should i just get the toe bolt kit? Just want slightly more tuck. Looks like the toe bolt kit allows you to go -3 camber with up to -3 toe adjustment.

yea, I'm on an incline. I'll get better pics later. It looks pretty even all around, maybe a but lower in the back.

Looks good. I'm surprised you had to trim the liner. I'm pretty sure I'm lower than you are all around and I only had to partially trim my bracket. I did the toe bolt and my camber is right around -2.5 on either sides.

yea, we had a mix up and 275/35s were put on the rear. Not a big deal, bout an inch or two removed from the liner.

Here are some better pics I took today.

Looks good man. I wish the swifts sat a little lower in the front. Rear looks just about right to me. I dig the wheels too, something a little different from the norm (Vossens) lol.

Thanks for the compliments. Yea, I wish they sat lower in the front as well. Hoping for a little settling but I don't think the swifts settle at all (what Ive heard). I really do like the vossens but wanted to try something new and didn't want to spend that much on wheels.

so the front didn't level out with the rear....that sucks. and the rear drops even more when you drive, especially with passengers.

Yea, I don't think any of the springs actually level out the car. It is extremely close and I like the look much better than stock. The ride has also improved as well as handling.
