Question Swift springs install

Hey guys i recently bought some swift springs for my car. Now my question is do i need a camber kit for my car aswell when i install my springs. My car is a daily driver and i like to take some fast corners and a lil track here and there. So therefore i went with swift.

Will my tires butterfly if i dont install the CamberKit with the springs like they do in the hondas???

Please let me know guys!!!

Thanx Guys

you should always get an alignment after installing springs if you want your tires to last

I'm running swifts with stock suspension and both 235 and 255 wheels w/o issues. Soooo many people have this setup or have tried it and proved it out.

Just install the springs and get an alignment - done.

As for camber, you can play with your stock camber bolt to get a bit more negative camber into the car possibly. As your guy that does the alignment.

I'm running the Swift with the longer Camber Bolts. The bolts are cheap and gives the ability to go -3.5 if you track. Your alignment guy can install the bolts for you, when you get aligned.

i didnt get camber kit. i put on swift springs, along with 18x9 wheels. i waited about 2-3 weeks for them to settle and got an alignment. no agressive camber settings its like -1 all the way around and 0 toe. they were able to get the toe like -.04 all the way so im happy. paid 70 bux.

Nah, you don't need the camber kit. The stock bolts allow enough camber adjustment for a daily driver.
