Default Swift Spec R installed

I've installed the springs about a week ago. I am extremely happy with them so far. I have hit hard bumps to see if they bottom out like some people but they dont seem to do it in my car. I really like the drop. Its about a finger and a half all the way around and it handles like a champ. The steering input is much quicker. I was afraid of sacrificing my comfort for daily driving, but it is extremely smooth and is a very pleasant drive.
Its about one and a half finger space between the tire and the fender.

Looks good. Whats with the damage to the fender? Looks like the car was lowered and had low offset/wide wheels to pull the fender out like that.

The drop looks good. Those are probably the best springs to get right now...With the right shocks in place. I dont think the stock shocks(non-CR), are the right match for the springs. Better start saving for Konis And matching front tires

if you had a set of same tires front and rear, that would be a better test but all in all glad you like the setup. looks good

These springs are actually made for the stock shocks. Of course upgrading the shocks to Koni's or Cr's would only be better for this setup.

But right now I am running these springs with the stock shocks and they do not feel over sprung or anything. In fact I have a friend with Buddyclub RSD's and even he agrees that my car feels better on the street and feels more well balanced than his.

I'll post up pictures of mine when I have the chance.

The fenders were rolled. The previous owner had a different setup for suspension.
