Put on those springs first. Then you'll really want to go again

Sweet glad to see you got lee's springs! It would b best to put the springs on first so you can measure the gap you need to fill with spacers.

NBZ34 · 04-25-2012, 09:54 AM

you may be right, Lukas.. but it will look horrible with an inch drop and the wheels set in. From what I've seen with the OEM wheels with the Swifts on OEM shocks, 15-20mm DRS on the front and 20mm DRMs on the back should not cause any rubbing issues.

Yeah thats what ive heard too. I was going to get these springs but im worried about my exhaust with them. I have a friend whos has two sets of 20mm spacers i only want one cause id probably get 15s in the front. If u want i can buy them from him and you can buy one set from me that way all u need is 15s

With Swift springs? I would think there would be definite rubbing issues on the front with 25's. I'm thinking of going with 15 front and 20 back. And eventually, I want to go with 265/35/19 and 305/30/19 Mich PSS. Not sure how 25mm would work with that configuration and being lowered.

Yeah with Swift springs.. Lee and I noticed that it also seemed to sit a little lower than his on the same suspension.. no rubbing with my 25's.. I think the drop is too aggressive with the Swifts to only run 15/20.. I dont think the 305's will work with Swifts + 20mm...
