Where To Order Spacers

You need to order the H&R DRS ones if you are looking for the ones with stud replacements. I have them for both front and back, a bit more work to install but safer option. You won't need a camber kit just from adding the spacers but you MAY if you are adding the springs.

Most install the spacers and springs, let the springs settle for a bit, get the alignment done, this is usually where you'll know whether you need camber kit or not - some forum members were within OEM specs and didn't need the camber kit (Hence $$ saved) others did and had to get the kit (SPC for the most part around the forum).

Here is a link you might or might now have come across Swift Springs Review. PM members such as CFZ, TJLAZER, JJ-NISMO, BOOST_LEE are excellent resources for the Swift springs and provide prompt replies. FUCT and JOHNNYDRAMA are also knowledgeable on the springs and spacers subjects. I hope that helps.
