well the swifts are on.

as far as negative camber, i am still on stock alignment specs. my goal is to achieve greater steady state cornering limits on tires that i plan on using later in the year that respond nicely to some camber.

i unfortunately have to hold out on the review of my swifts. when it comes to being a mechanic, i'm made of fail, and right now i have some clunking up front that so i'm more interested in figuring out what part of the re-install i messed up.

for now, i'll say that the springs are a lot more compliant than i thought they would be. the only reason i even tried to install them myself was to figure out how to reinstall the stock springs to save on future labor costs.

so far she thinks the ride is fine, and we don't plan on changing back so i'm lucky. i have to say, i really expected to cut it close on the tolerable edge of DD for her but so far we both agree the swifts don't toe that line at all.

i can't fairly rate these in the subjective handling area. i don't have the seat time in them yet. once i un-stupid my install, the car will be put through real tomfoolery. i can tell this much, though - the car could really use some camber up front and more exciting tire. and i didn't have to turn into my driveway any differently even though it is about an inch lower.
