Now my only concern is whether I will need a F&R camber kit for my swift drop.

Just recently Dagon told me that non-sport coupes seem to require camber kits more often on eibach/swift drops compared to sport suspension coupes.. I didn't think about that and starting to worry now.

It cost an arm and a leg to get install springs, get alignment then find out you need camber kit.. then install camber kit, get 2nd alignment =( + cost of F+R kit..

Just install your springs, wait about two weeks before you get an alignment. During the alignment have them install rear spc camber kit. I would only get rear IMO. Pretty simple, the alignment should include the cost of installing the kit as well.

20x9 Front, 20x10.5 Rear, CV1 Matte Silver Mach Lip with custom paint. Wheels were supposed to be darker but the wheel shop ordered the K51 matching paint from Infiniti, finished with a gloss coat.

Running Falken FK 452, 245/35R-20XL front, 285/30R-20XL rear. Can't remember the offset, think it was +38, +45.

Please show us yours when mounted as well! All these cv1s look so good painted or in the limited edition finish. Very cool guys keep them coming.

It's just because it's such a mild drop and I don't really see the need to drop another $500 on camber kits when u may not even need. Telling you first install springs let them settle then align and post the specs and we go from there.

Back when I first got my G, I had eibachs never bought camber kits. The alignment shop was able to get my car into specs. Swifts/eibachs are very similar. Like Diego said get the springs let it settle n get alignment. After that if you not 100% happy get camber kit.

Yeh, I told the paint guy I wanted them darker and he was supposed to paint the center caps, but I guess it was too much instruction. I'm still happy with them though.
