so i just dropped my car off to have its swift springs spec-r put in, the guy seemed like a pretty knowledgeable fellow and said there is definitely going to be issues with the wheel alignment and ill need to spend more dollars to get another part fitted to correct it. My car is totally stock. Anyone experienced such "issues" ??

 

What alignment specs are you looking for? You shouldn't have any issues getting -2 degrees camber front and -1 rear by flipping the bolt.

 

I did my swift spec r's by myself. WTF is he talking about putting another part on it to fit it correctly? All you do is swap out the springs. You do need an alignment though.

 

Hints that they are full of it in bold.

They likely are trying to sell you a camber bolt kit; which you in no way need. The front camber bolt has 2 positions on the Evo. Rear has a lot of adjustment range. If a street only car, start on the -1 bolt position up front and see what wheel camber that will give you on the springs. Shoot for -1 to -2 up front and between -0.5 to -1.5 rear.

Bottom line, go somewhere else or DIY.

 

I put these springs on and few days later went to alignment shop they aligned it just fine. So I say bs. Put them on yourself. You can rent spring tool from Autozone for free, the job is easy and doesn't require anything special. The big bolts that everybody says needs an impact gun came right off with 1 inch drive rachet.

 

haha thanks smike you were spot on with everything.

 

 

How lows is the swift-spec r from the tire surface to the fender
