Installed my new swift springs with koni shocks last week, and the front has settled down extremely low. Can anyone with a similar setup chime in? From all the pictures

Swift springs and Koni Yellows ride height
Installed my new swift springs with koni shocks last week, and the front has settled down extremely low. Can anyone with a similar setup chime in?
From all the pictures I've seen, the car shouldn't be so low in the front, but I could be wrong. |

Looks to be an optical illusion caused by combination of front camber and front rims' offset. It does not look too low to me at all. Front and rear gaps look similar.
Only way to objectively conclude this is measure your ride height and compare to stock. Car looks good

You're fine. It looks even and is not that low.

The OEM ride height is 27.875" front and 28" rear. Find a patch of concrete that looks absolutely flat. Measure the ride height of each wheel from the ground straight through the center of your wheel to the fender lip. You should be somewhere near 26.675" front and 27" rear. Post your numbers here. |

Does anyone know what the height difference would be between OEM struts and Swift springs vs Konis and Swift springs? I haven't seen the answer to this, but didn't want to create a new thread. Thanks!
