I guess it does. Hell why can't a manufacture make a car and set it up for zero toe if suspension movement didn't effect it?

Just purchased swifts as well. Now I need to decide on doing the front camber arms(which are crazy expensive) with the rears.
Pretty sure I am going to go with SPC for the rear with toe bolts to get it close back into factory specs. Any other recommendations?

Swifts won't be crazy out of spec for toe I don't think. The factory toe bolts at 1 degree might be enough for you.

Had them installed today. Car handles awesome and the swifts soaked up every imperfection on the road. I am a true believer in their springs. Gonna give it a week or two before I have the rear camber arms installed and an alignment done. I'll be sure to post the specs. Not sure if I will change the fronts but the computer diagnosis may persuade me more.
Before on top After on bottom

Just ordered mine today with spl camber arms. Gonna hold off on spacers till I see the final product. Hopefully I wont need them. My 19 in Rays on the 2013 look great.

edit: the drop will make the need for spacers much more apparent.

I recently bought swift springs, judging by what I'm hearing from you guys I have to get this and this in order to put my wheel setup to normal? I don't want to wear my out tires fast, but I definitely do want to lower my car.

You should only need rear camber arms to save your rear tires. The fronts just roll and won't wear out. No need spending that extra money on front camber and toe unless u are tracking your car in time trials and need to make adjustments. If that's the case u should think coilovers.

Gotcha, I was getting a little worried about the tires for a second there. So after installing the springs, should I just wait about a few weeks and then get a re-alignment?
