^^Beautiful!! I think I already know the asnwer, but, do you guys have to roll your fenders for the wheels to fit with the "drop" of the Swift Spec Rs?

 

From my experiences any wheels that's 9inches wide or more with less than a +50 offset will more than likely require roll/trim fenders
My fronts are 17x8+42 = fender trim after the springs but not before
My rears are 17x9+38=fender trim at stock height and slightly more once lowered

 

A picture I took of Rosario's car this past summer, but not sure how much it shows off how it sits:

 

As promised, I got the Swift Spec R's in. I mated them to a set of AP2 dampers with 30k miles on them. Since its winter here, I haven't and won't be taking the car for a drive until spring. I also put on the RPF1s as well to see if I like the look. In person, the car looks awesome. In pictures...not so much.

From an asthetic view, the car looks amazing. I think the car sits at a perfect height. Its not too low nor is it too high. The photos below are the before and after. I tried to get the best possible photos with accurate distance, angle, and shot overal. As you can tell..i failed miserably. Another car was in the garage so I had limited space after I finished up.

Took me a total of 1.5 hours to do all 4 corners with the majority of the time working on the rear driver side. That side is a pain in the ass!

Enjoy... (Keep in mind, it is winter here and we a good amount of snow on the ground so the photos are horrid).

And there she is..


Fenders are stock. Not rolled, rear tabs not relocated, etc. I was able to move the car from this garage to the other garage for storage with no rubbing.

 

These looks great! Any more? I'm excited to install mine with CR shocks!

 

Not sure what I was thinking. I mated the swifts spec r's with AP1 dampers (with 30k miles on them).

 

Whats the big deal unless your cars driving like shit now lol
I put mine on oem ap2 dampers with 35k miles and so far so good. Im not changing the dampers till they go bad and so far ive put about 15k miles on these with the swifts with no problems..

 

Its not a big deal at all actually. I just wanted to list accurate information. In my previous post, I stated I put them on AP2 dampers. Rather than editing my original post, I added a new post.

It should have read, "Not sure what I was thinking when I posted....."

 

I know End005 already clarify in regards to just putting down the wrong info but I do want to join in on this conversation in regards to springs on stock shocks.

I have to agree with you. When I had an Evo 9, my favorite setup wasn't the KW V3 (had them for 3 months) - It was the stock shocks on 9MR shocks (bilsteins) matched with Swift springs. On my Z it wasn't the Tein Flex but the eibach pro kits with stock shocks. I just really enjoy the simplicity of the springs and shocks combo because I'm not looking for insane track customization.

That being said I bought 25k miles AP2 shocks to put swift spec Rs on but I ended up finding the Cr shocks / spec r combo already installed together with 10k miles for $750 - I couldn't pass up a deal like that so that's why I did it. Had I not find that deal I would have put the Spec R on ap2 shocks and call it a day.

 

Thank you very much! These are great! I'm sure it'll help a lot of the members looking to go with spec r!
