Hey guys,

Just threw in some Swift Sport springs I picked up off a mate cheap as chips with 5k usage.
I was going to stay stock springs on Bilsteins for this years road races and hillclimbs but these came up too cheap to say no.

Anyway, threw them in and stuff me its SLAMMED!
Rear wheels in the guards, fronts sitting fairly low, had a peek under and the front lower control arm is now horizontal, which from what I read isn't good for handling at all!

Anyone had this issue before?

Pics on their way.

Are you sure they are real Swifts? Struts in good condition?

Should look like:


Does not look to far off from my car. But my control arm was not horizontal.

 

Posting the measurements from center of wheel (middle of center cap) to fender lip would help.

 

Yep genuine swifts, will post measurements this arvo.
Cheers

 

mine sits higher in the back than that. all my corner heights are within 1/8".

 

Struts in good condition, no noise or leaks from them.

 

I have that exact set-up. Looks about right to me.

Here is how my car sits:

 

You guys running mr bilsteins? My hd's sit a bit higher.

 

My car had HDs with the GSR Swift Spec R.

 

Yep on MR Bilsteins.
Front measurement= 342mm
Rear measurement = 320mm

Looks similar to yours Golgo, yours handle ok?

 

weird, same combo as mine, but mine is maybe 1/16" higher in the rear than the front. i also have my battery relocated to the rear, but my spare is gone.

 

That looks normal to me.

Handles fine with no issue, but I'm sure I'm hitting the bump stops though at that ride height.

 

Finally got a chance to wash the car and get pics. Looks a little lower than others i've seen.
Any comments?
