Quick question: I almost scrape when entering/leaving the driveway. I have to go really slowly or go in/out from an angle to avoid scraping. Would the Swifts be too low and damage my car?
Quick Q2: I know there has been a lot of talk around which springs are better to use and I have probably read all the threads on Swift vs GTWorx springs. What I would still like to know is - Swift marketing make their springs look like the best - with less coils, less mass, stronger material etc. Do these benefits even matter, considering the GTWorx springs are like regular springs?

. All I can say is that the Swifts are a little lower than our springs, so you'd be more likely to scrape with them. A lot of people have gone with our springs to avoid scraping on driveways and to clear snow and been very happy with the results.Quick answer 2: Swift do use great spring material. Eibach makes our springs with the same material used in their coilover springs that are used by top racing teams around the world in touring car, rally, formula, etc. Also very good spring quality. If there is any advantage between the two in terms of quality of the spring steel, it is very slight. These two are at the top of the game (along with Hyperco).
Hope that helps!

You can reuse the stock tops. It's a great option for those looking for a more street oriented set-up and don't need more than -2 degrees of camber.

do you have a pick up price for the whiteline rear sway bar?
I'm next door in Severn. Open Saturdays?
Btw, I got swift springs for my zeal CO from you last year. Is swaping the springs similar to struts spring replacement? thx...
Oh yeah, Hi Carol!

They do not come with camber plates....add 400 bucks if you would like the Vorshlag plates. They're the best out there.

Now to decide between these with the Vorshlag plates or just go for the Ohlins

Swapping the coilover springs is pretty easy, you do not need a spring compressor since you can just lower the perches and then raise them. Same basic idea, just different hardware.
$179 picked up for the bar, but let us know because we have been drop shipping a bunch since the move and need to get it here.
