Spacers are mainly just for looks. The performance difference from the wider track is minimal at best.

beside spacer,any other things needed when dropping a aftermarket springs?

Spacers aren't needed. The only thing you need is patience and the correct tools.

just personal preference...but it looks pretty nasty without spacers after a drop.
I dropped mine and wasn't planning on spacers but after less than a week, i ended up getting them.

Buy the Swifts, space as desired, drive car, smile like a madman!

Best performance mod for the money to date on my car.

I dunno man, I just don't like the tucked wheels, especially when you have the additional camber from the drop. With the camber evened out it'll probably look great as you say- I just love having the top of the wheel even with the fender.

Pic of mine with the spacers- this is before the 305s went on.

you said "just personal preference...but it looks pretty nasty without spacers after a drop."

I disagreed with it looking "nasty" without spacers after a drop, regardless of what you did after the fact.
:confused:

Well apparently not all of us are from Tujunga, CA, where people eschew such hip phrasing as "nasty" for something that is pleasing to the eye.

ANYWAY. We are in agreement. Back on topic.
