I have Swift Spec R springs installed on stock shocks. The Swifts are supposed to be a 1.2" drop all around. It's supposedly a very common set up. What i was wondering was how many spacers to use when installing the BSK. I know you can/ should set up and use a Bump steer gauge and all of that. However given the commonality, I'd think someone's already done the legwork on this. Thank you.

 

You need to find someone:

• Who has figured out arm length as well as spacer height by actually measuring.
• Whose info you trust.

Both are more difficult than measuring bump steer.

 

Trust me i dont want to go this route. I figured it was a super common suspension set-up and my alignment shop doesnt have a bump steer gauge sadly. I am going to have the car up on a lift on Saturday is it something i can measure?

 

Yeah! You can do a rough measurement with a laser pointer and measuring tape and some trigonometry.

Youtube has some DIY's.

 

Here it is. Hoping to god i did it right.
