If you go FI exhaust you probably won't want to drop any more than the H&Rs. Mine hits under aggressive mountain runs and I'm on H&Rs.

It might be your springs? Most say you have 1.5" clearance to drop before you run into issues on the 2nd gen FI exhaust. The swifts are 1" in the rear. Tein's or Eibach Sportline would be too low.

1.5" is not much clearance when you are pushing the car hard on the street. Just my :twocents:

^This. I hit my cans a couple times on mountain runs as well..

Do you guys know if the swift will rub with a 275/35/19 305/30/19 setup?

Just installed my H&R springs and gotta say i love, read a lot of reviews on here that said it was a bad DD or it was too low but its a perfect drop and no rub at all

I love my H&Rs but they are low. The front chin spoiler is abused with dips in the road and simple rolled driveway curbs.

Recently saw Tanabe post a 370 on some GF210's. The drop looks pretty decent. Not to low and even gap all around.

This spring compared to the oem is also different. The oem spring to me, picked up all the little cracks and uneven surfaces on the pavement. It wasnt uncomfortable or anything but then when going around a corner the car would roll a good amount. The Swift springs is almost the exact opposite. They absorb all the irregularities of the road. They are really smooth on the road, but when you take a corner there is no body roll.

By planted I mean that the steering is more responsive and the car grips. It's completely level through the corners. The thing is when I purchased these springs I was really afraid of the spring rates because they are so much stiffer than anything else on the market. But they are more than daily driveable, in fact they are smoother than stock.

The only real problem with these springs is the price. they retail at 419 dollars, and I bought mine for 335 shipped.

I track my car monthly and so I am extremely impressed by the design and rates of these springs. So if you occasionally track your car and are not looking for coilovers. These are in my opinion, "coilover performance" lowering springs with comfort of daily driving in mind.

TJ- do you tracked or Autox at all?

Been posted before?? How's your alignment though? They seem like a big drop and I've read the OEM setup can't really be aligned properly? Tires wear out quick?

Probably depends more on the wheel and offset than the tire.
