Swift springs review!!!!!

My only fear is that if I go with that then I'll wish I got coilovers, even though I hardly ever drive to the point where I would actually need them. I just WANT them lol

I'm planning on getting front & rear camber arms in the next few months. My rear camber (-2.1 and 2.2) and toe (.17 and .14 or something) are both in spec but not ideal for tracking, I'm looking to reduce my camber and overall toe.

My question is, do I need toe arms? Or will I still have enough adjustability with the stock arm. I'm lowered on swifts as well.

For tracking, SPL rear camber arms and toe bolts. Toe bolts are $25 so no reason not to get them.

The reason not to get them is an eccentric bolt can slip and lose all alignment on the track. You're better off to get or make your own eccentric lockout kit like I did and get traction arms to adjust toe and camber arms for camber.

Is there a certain amount of toe to not go over when adjusting toe via the traction arms, since traction arms also effect bumpsteer. I've read that ideally you want to adjust the toe via the midlink but..to do so without eccentric bolts then you have to either go a true coilover setup or buy SPL's 700-800 mid links.

If any of the track gurus could chime in on this too

That I don't know. Guess I'll have to see when I align.

I just looked at some alignment sheets, I don't even see bumpsteer on there. Is it just a feeling when on the track? Every bump changes the severity of steer depending how much you effect it with certain parts, ride height etc?

Toe arms no, toe bolts yes please.

Yea screw it I'm just gonna get the whole package. If only eccentrics didn't slip..

*edit* nvm!

I got my toe in spec with the Swifts using the stock toe bolts (on my first 370). it is hit and miss whether you need the aftermarket toe bolts and I think my experience is not unique.

I got these springs installed and aligned on Monday and I absolutely love them, but I have question for anyone who has these springs and a Fast Intentions CBE, do you ever scrape or hit the exhaust on anything?

If you are lowered, eventually you will scrape something somewhere... Live with it.
