Swift MR springs installed (front dropped, but rear didn't) .......

Today i installed my swift springs, and in the front the car was lowered the inches that were given with the specs of the swift springs.

But the back did not lower any at all.....


Or do they need to settle a few days before they lower the car the given 0.8inch?
In the front the car immediatly dropped 1.38inch as subscriped.

Grtz

Ben

p.s. : Sorry for my poor english, i hope you guys can understand what i mean.

Great choice!!! I have the same springs, rides real smooth and looks great. My problem is my front is uneven after the install. My front passenger side is almost an 1/8th of an inch higher than my right. Checked spring position on all 4 sides and there right where they need to be. Is yours pretty level?

Mine seemed to settle the 2nd day; after it set overnight and I drove the 85miles roundtrip to work. Don't worry about it.

Mine set after 2 weeks. Didn't drive the car much. LOL. But initially, the front was noticeably lower. What is important is that your wheelgap front and rear should be pretty close to equal with these springs. And don't forget to get an alignment.

Ok thanks for the info all

The alignment is is allready done.
Here is the report.
What do you think about it?

The IX wasn't in their computer yet, but i think the VIII is the same as the IX for alignment

LOL. You do know that most americans only speak English, right? It looks ok. Toe should be close to 0 for max tire life.
