Swift springs review!!!!!

tjlazer, how's your FI exhaust holding up? I'm debating about getting these springs in combination with 245/40 & 285/35 or 275/35 & 305/30. I'm probably spamming all over the place

I'm probably spamming all over the place since it's driving me nuts. I've scraped the exhaust a few times due to some crappy steep driveways, but the front bumper rarely gets scraped.

Great! Haven't scraped the cans not once!

I was hoping to get these installed next monday (Jan 17), but it looks like that's not going to happen. I (also) spoke with somebody at KamiSpeed, and they told me that the springs had made it past customs in California, but still had to be delivered to them before they could turn around and ship them to me.
It's now tuesday night and my springs have not yet been shipped. :-( Not looking good.

After they're installed, I'll be more than happy to post the numbers.
I was planning to wait about 2 weeks before getting a 4-wheel alignment (give them a chance to settle in a little bit).
If I need a camber kit, I'll be SURE to let you know.

Well crap. Scrapped the cans today! Speed bump was not even that big, but I did not CRAWL over it like I usually do. Do yourself a favor and C.R.A.W.L. over every single speed bump or you can scrape the cans! Its not that bad but it still bothers me. Not sure it's even worth trying to fix it at this point. I might just paint them flat black anyway...

What part of the cans did you scrape? I've only scraped the bottom edge of the can, so it is barely noticeable. I can only imagine what it would be like after installing the springs. I wonder if Tony can retool his design to raise up the cans a bit since it seems like there is over 1" of headroom.

^^ Guys don't worry about scraping, just have Tony weld on skid plates to the exhaust cans. I had it done for me over a year ago, and have never even noticed they are there. I will be ready for when I first scrape.

It was the lowest part of the cans toward the top. Just the edge so it's not bad or anything. Another thing I noticed is there were some long scratches on the cans much higher up and there is no way the speed bump did those. I am thinking it was debris or rocks! It's gonna happen I guess, such a shame as they are so nice looking! In the end they are just exhaust cans.
