It feels like it is time for another photo-shoot. Let's think of a time and place.

Sounds good, the car is filthy. Will setup a place and time. Thinking of and old warehouse front, alley. industrial backdrop. Or modern hard lines architech style buildings. I have a friend that might be able to get us in the STRS building across The Sacramento River. My fav would the old sugar mill on the delta just south of Freeport, its been converted into a winery. Just throwing some out....oh snap OT....okay yes the stance looks great and will some pics up soon. SWIFT FTW....hows that !

All of those ideas sound good. I think I have a few weekends in February free.

Maybe we can go down near the railyards...

My Z's are filthy dirty also, BTW.

Weekend of the 18th is out for me, have out of town friend visiting. Yeh if only we could get into the railyard where the old repair buildings are...fat chance though. I have been scoping it out for the last year since commuting on Amtrak.

Well three weeks after spring install and everything is nice and settled...here is a picture and the alignment results with a rear SPC camber/toe bolts installed.

Could not get front within Spec as it has no adjustment and rears are not ideal but within specs with the camber/toe bolts.

FI is the lowest on the market to begin with I believe... there is always a chance you will scrape. Come to terms with it and you will survive. Swifts are awesome and worth an occasional scrape. Just take curbs/bumps at an angle!

FI was revised a while back. So the newer version of the FI exhaust is no lower than any of the other aftermarket exhausts. I am lowered on Swifts and I have yet to scrape my exhaust.... Well when a wheel shop putting new tires on my Z decided to drive it over a drainage ditch it did....but that's another story for another day

Depends on your tire presure and if you have any phat chicks as passengers. If you raise the seat a bit, that should take care of any scraping.
