Nice transformation counterFIT. Really dig those retrofits you got and may have to look into that Allfit/Homedepot lip.

Got these in the mail today, going to install 'em tomorrow.
Looking forward to better ride quality and possibly go a little lower in the front(at least for shows).

Those the DDM D2 projectors? With that price I'm assuming you did the install yourself?

Burzpaw congrats on the springs. Hope they help out.

Thanks! And yea, I already installed a pair of these on my buddy's coilovers and they made a big difference with ride quality and being Swifts I have no doubt they'll shadow the stock Buddy Club springs haha.

So are they a specific spring that Swift makes for the Buddy club coilovers or did you have to specify the spring rates etc?

Swifts have metric coilovers with inner diameters of 60mm, 65mm, and 70mm-- you get the size that fits your coilovers(65mm for the front for Buddy Club/FF2 and 70mm rear).
As far as length and spring rates there are a lot of options available; lengths go from something like 4" to 10" and rates range from 3k to 34k
I think the general rule is to go 2k up for a little more aggressive setup(stock for Buddy Club/FF2 is 8k/6k so you'd get 10k/8k) but most of the guys I know have been going with 12k/10k. Then there are some I know that run higher, even up to the 20's haha.

So I finally looked up my cars VIN to see if I was affected by the recall...yup.

I'm just gonna drive it until the parts become available in summer. I just don't want to have the deal with a loaner and all that stuff. It's a '13 so I figure time is more on my side than say an 09 but I will get it fixed.

Plus thats like 5 autoX races I would miss XD
