I have never heard my springs make ANY noise, break in period or otherwise. I have heard others complaining though it usually turns out to be the rubbers. Not sure what it could be...

How is understear with these, im sure some one mentioned it already but there is no way im going through 56 pages. Why im asking because today i was doing some spirited driving and almost ended up in a parked mini cooper because of the understear i got going through a corner at 30mph.

If you have creaking issues, it is because the OEM rubber rings were not put on the Swifts correctly. I had creaking issues, went back and put the rubber rings on, and have not had any issues since. Check my post in the review and the Nismo Swift review if you want pics.

unfortunately, I could not get back to factory specs. Have to order a camber kit for the rear. Fr -1.5 both sides, Rr -2.5 and -2.4 was the best they could get it to. Toe and caster were good all around.

I got 1.5 front and 2.2, 2.0 rear. Left it as is, feels pretty darn good.

wont ruin, but will wear them out fast
at -2 degrees my back tires lasted 15k miles. and that was babying them. (15k miles isnt bad on a car like this though) since you cant adjust front camber i wouldnt wory about -1.5 |
