Going to wait a week and let them settle before alignment. I'll be sure to post the results.

Can't wait to get my springs next Tuesday and throw them on next weekend. I just sold my motorcycle today

so I need some sort of emotional boost. It's going to look good with the 15 x 20mm H&R spacers!

Pics and review to come people

I didn't need one and I was able to get the camber to -1.9 on the rears. That was whithin spec. Every car is different. What is your camber?

What were your camber #'s?

My bad guys, it just dawned on me that I may need the camber kit 'cause I'm running different wheels than stock. Sorry I don't remember the camber numbers I got, I just know they were off. Guess ill just have to add the camber kit cost to the price of getting new wheels!

Yea i've heard to hold off on the camber kit as most people are able to get within spec. Plus with spacers things tend to change.

Same here, I came in at -1.9 in the rear which is not aggressive enough to make me consider camber arms.

Have any of you guys had a issue with ride height.

My car is .25 higher on the right front.
and .25 higher on the right rear.

When I installed these I had no problems at all and I drove it and double checked everything and still find this puzzling.

Mine are due to arrive on the 11th according to the tracking e-mail I got from KamiSpeed. My 15mm H&R spacers for the front wheels arrived today and I'm in the queue for powdercoated brakes from Mike.

Unfortunately, I wont be able to tackle my spring install for a couple of weeks. I'm off to London for work!

I can't remember which side it is, but one side of the car is slightly higher than the other and I believe that is the driver's side to compensate for the weight of the driver.

But my side is pass side,and these springs are marked front and back not left and right.
That's why I was curious . 25 isn't much I was just checking to see if any of you have had this issue.

Mine should be here the 12th, should able to install them on Friday or Saturday.

12th here as well. Seems like alot of people were waiting on this shipment.

You cannot go wrong with the Swift Springs. I did both front and Rear Camber when I did mine. I looked at it this way " I am already there may as do it". We also installed my Rotora 6/4 brake kit at the same time.

The drop on the swifts looks great in person.
