i installed my swift spec r on my my00 and i preloaded the suspension and it is lower in the front than the rear. I have about 1 1/4 finger gap in the front but i have almost 2 finger gaps in the rear. for those who have experience with these springs is this normal?

 

yes.

 

do you have the swift spec r's too? does yours sit like that too?

 

Maybe u should wait till it settles

 

Sounds like if anything you put them on backwards?

Typical rakes are biased to the rear sitting lower than the front, so you flatten out after braking before a turn. Though I don't know if this is the case with the swifts...

 

If it's of any value, after lowering on Koni's + stock springs, my rake is the same just 1/4" higher than yours.

 

that's correct. the front will sit (read: appear) lower than the rear. i have spec-r's and this is normal.

i do however have a oem hardtop, which kind of evens it out a little bit
