So far so good. They are definitely better on the 18" wheels due to having more meat on the tires.

Swift, H&R, and Spoon in that order in our opinion.

I thought spoon would be top?

Just ordered eibach sportlines and going to use 18x9.5” +35 konig hypergrams with 275/35/18 RS-RR. Going to use the hard race front lower ball joints to get around -2.5 to -2.8 camber up front. Using the rear camber kit for about -2.2 or -2.3. Hoping it won’t rub but I’m sure I’ll have to do some trimming and changing

How this setup doing ? I’m planing to lower on swift I have prey much the same wheels , just with p4s 255/40/18

Very good. Actually went with a little more camber and the Wedssport tc105x instead (18x9.5” +45 fits SO much better) after a couple track days I’m now at -3 front and -2.4 rear. Car drives great I love it and looks good too. No trimming needed it’s been awesome.

Actually just bought the 10.7” titans with a 295 A052 up front and their 9.5” rear with a 265 so I’m excited to see how the fronts fit when I get them.

I wonder if I would have rubbing issues with my setup if I lowered with swift springs . (255/40/18) and 18x9.5 +35

Have you got it out on track yet? It is amazingly capable with stock stuff. If anything you'll benefit most from some negative camber vs lowering springs

Yes , I did that’s why I noticed the rear goes to tight, I need to be more stiff on the rear suspension for get more oversteer, the oem suspension is great , just looking for something else without go too expensive.

Have you got a new rear sway bar? I’ve used the Eibach 22 and 25mm ones to get the rear to rotate more. Don’t get me wrong I like how my springs perform just throwing out other ideas.

There is also the free front camber adjustment if you haven’t removed the guide pins?

I haven’t removed the pins yet , I was expecting to lower a bit and get a slightly stiff suspension, but yes I heard you , all the ideas are welcome .

Yes what the other guy said. Rear sway bar will definitely help rotate the rear a lil more from my understanding. If you do decide to lower you will definitely need to trim/ roll front and rear fender. Should cost anywhere between $30 to 60$ per corner depending on where you take it.

I daily drive my R and am thinking about going with H&R, but I am just curious, where would you rank Eibach in that grouping?

 

[un1coRn]

Anybody running Swift springs w/o camber arms? Any issues or should I just buy both up front. Thanks in advance!
