Swift springs review!!!!!

tjlazer · 01-02-2013, 03:24 PM

Yes I have. Neg 1.9 on rears which is within oem spec.

onzedge · 01-02-2013, 03:45 PM

I am at OEM alignment specs.

I'm at 3 weeks with these installed, feels better and better each time I drive it. I still have some nice finger gap and i don't think it's gotten lower. Do I need a an alignment , is it required?

You should always check alignment after suspension work.

So will the alignment shop get you to stock? What do they exactly do, and do I need to bring them camber kit

Some people have been able to attain alignment w/o the rear camber kit, but don't count on it. I installed the camber kit at the same time as the springs.

Is installing rear camber kit hard? Do they have to remove springs again?
Also it's SPc rear camber kit right?

It is easy and can be done without spring removal. SPC is good stuff.

Yes mine are at factory spec, but only with SPC rear kit with toe bolt. After 20k miles on Swifts the fronts are in spec with the exception of one side off by a nats arse. Not bad for no front control arms. Rears always in spec.

Running RE-11's may have something to do with it...

So you have to buy rear camber also toe bolts?

I ended up not needing the toe bolts.

When I did my spring install I also went ahead and installed the SPC rear camber kit. I however did not install the toe bolts and was able to get the rear back within spec.

The kits either come with them or not, its cheaper to buy the kit with them, because if you need to purchase after the fact it will always run more than buying the kit that comes with toe bolt. Better safe than sorry and just buy the kit with toe bolts...imo
