Did you have to get a camber kit as KrAtTor Mentions?

Nope, I personally did not have to get a camber kit but every car is different. Some need them and some don't. Mine luckily came back within spec after installing the Swifts.

Surprised that more people aren't dropped. I was hoping someone had experience with TIEN springs or Megan Springs because those were only $180 or so online. Then Alignment and everything else.

Just got swift springs + rear camber arms installed 2 weeks ago. It looks pretty goofy right now because the wheels are sitting pretty in the wheel well. I've heard that 20 in the front and 25 in the rear will get the base 18" wheels flush.

Another way which I will probably do is to just buy wheel/tire combo to do it without spacers: Flush with no spacers
