I doubt you’ll need to cut it more. Swift has a very high spring rate. I think I hit my bump stop twice on a huge dip since I installed it 2 months ago.

Mine are cut but only because they were already cut from when I had Pro-Kits installed.

I cut the bumpstop at the first notch like Eibach and Spoon suggest you do.

Springs have been on the car for 28k miles, no issues so far. Only complaint is that the ride is pretty bouncy in comfort mode.

I have the same variation on the left and right on the front. Not sure why. But I removed the guide pin so my passenger camber is -.2.3. My toes are all 0.

@VinRRR you running -2.3 on front? I'm pretty happy with mine being at 1.0 and 1.6, just wish they were alil bit more even. Rear definitely needs adjusting so I don't eat up tires. Just sucks can't be adjust w oem setup, need to look at camber kits

Yeah. My passenger front is 2.3 and driver front is 1.6 with the guide pin removed. Not sure why there’s a difference between the sides, but the car goes straight.

Because of the subframe isnt aligned with chassis.. u need rigid collar to get more precision.
Or if u want, you can always drop subframe and align it again.. but who does that?

Sorry this is a bit off topic but did you guys need to shave your fender liner or do any other modifications when dropping on swift? wanted to pick up a set of regas but i heard that they will rub if dropped on springs
