Where's the after pic? Lol Drop is not really noticable from that angle. Like the clean ride though.

Looking good, I like the wing-less trunk too. The drop my not be as much as with the Eibach springs, but at least you won't be blowing out your struts in a year.
I'll be getting a set of Swifts myself next Spring, can you tell us what the ride is like on Swifts compared to stock? How are they in the turns and over bumps? What alignment specs did you go with after the install?

Hasn't been aligned yet, will do that monday. Alignment specs will be 0 toe and -1 to -1.5 camber.
The swifts ride a lot better, the car doesn't feel so oversprung now, and it stays a lot flatter and smoother through the corners without an alignment than the stock springs. So it should be golden with.
I really wanted to go with coilovers but living in rural missouri i would have to drive a few hours to get the car corner balance etc, then I would have to mess with the dampening settings....I just didn't want to go through with that mess again.

Looks great. Can't wait to put mine on.
Perfect for a daily street driven vehicle.

clean drop, it will settle a coumple of mm more in a week or two.
IMO good springs for those who have the Aero kit.

I gotta say the drop is pretty nice. It can obviously be lower, but it definitely cleans the car up and makes it looks a bit sportier. Not a bad mod for $300.

Your car looks really good by the way. Did you consider a Do Luck trunk before going standard cf?
