Swift Sport springs, 15% tint all around. I'll be painting the OEM wheels gold this weekend.

it looks more than a 1.2 inch drop. it seems like some sets of the swift springs lower the car more than other sets. Weird.

yea, Ive noticed this as well. I really like the reviews people give the swifts but I feel like I can not get a good read on how much the drop is..... very strange!

we put the springs side by side but I didn't measure the difference. Later on I will measure the wheel gap. But I could not be happier. The ride feels like stock, and the drop is PERFECT. I was actually a bit apprehensive because I didn't think the drop would be enough, but it's perfect.

What about the swing/suspension travel, cause I think when the springs still swing like stock (same travel), it will make your tires scrap your fenders. Most of lowering springs are stiffer than stock springs..

No fender scrapes, no issues. And I live in and drive around LA which may as well be like driving on Mars, and I have had zero issues. Melikes.
