Just install Swift - Best mod to todate

I did some pictures, so when I get time this week I will post them

First, I have a few friends with Fits and they have use Eibach or Tein for lowering springs. I have drove their cars.

NOTHING COMPARES TO SWIFT SPRINGS. my car handles like it should have from the factory. not harsh, not bouncy.. perfect. and the tire rumble I had from going over bumps, gone. It handles awesome. These springs are designed to unload faster and are much lighter. I had Tein on my scion and they sucked.

It lowered it about 1-1/4 front and 1.1 rear. perfect for a daily driver, but the most important thing, is it handle so much better.

love it.

Where did you purchase these from? And if you don't mind, how much did you get them for?

Thanks.

that sounds like a nice drop. not too low, yet noticably lower than stock.

Swift manufactures a lot of springs for OEMs and even aftermarket companies, which is why you like them so much. They know what they're doing

Is this just a spring change or a strut change as well?

you know, today, after I drove about 85 miles, they seem to be a bit lower today. yes, you are right, they did settle.

I will take some more pics with my new wheels tomorrow.

give them a few weeks to settle.

it's a subtle drop but it's definitely lower than stock.

I think the drop looks good. Just low enough to take up a good chunk of the wheel gap without sacrificing too much suspension travel.
