I have SPL mid links, I can adjust ride height and have full toe! At a ride height that my front swift specRs run at the rear spring has no preload when unloaded. Only way to get preload is buy a coilover rear shock that can adjust. I could fix it but my front would be lowered and rear would be oem height.

So A. I buy coilover rear shocks. B. buy oem type coilovers and pitch the rear spring and height adjuster. C. Sell SPL mid links and swift linear racing springs and swift specRs front and rear and buy true true coilovers. D. Look like a truck with insane front rake.

I vote C. You will be much more satisfied.

Default hope to do install of aragosta this weekend

Will post a first feel using last owner settings except ride height
sad to say going with-5mm from stock.

local shop wants $190 to do 4 wheel alighment which I think I will do.
Nobody wants to do 3yr on aftermarket set in No Va..
all are afraid of setup even at stock ride height
