Swift SPEC R Lowering Springs
Just in case anyone wanted to know the height of SWIFT SPEC R lowing springs....here it is. This is just about 24 hours after being mounted. Wheel size 17x9 with Falken 255s. The front wheels/tires only clear by like 2mm's with no spacers. Last edited by ett808; 01-12-2019 at 02:46 PM. |

Looks really good. Another person with hypergrams just did RCE yellows with 17x8 and 225-45-17s
What was the total drop. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk

Switft SPEC R Drop Measured in Centimeters
Okay here is the measurement as promised. Sorry it's in metric (it's a better system anyways...lol) as that's the only tape measure i could find.
Fronts after 6 days. Rears after 6 days. So far I haven't scrapped on anything and I am liking the feel of the suspension. I do say that if you matched them up with better aftermarket shocks, I am pretty sure you'd be a lot happier. That said, with the basically brand new 2017 Toyota OEM (Sachs) shocks...the ride is nice. I do think i'll add some sway bars to the equation though. Also I might upgrade the shocks in a year or so if i don't go back to coilovers. After I put on sway bars I'll chime in with my thoughts. ET |
