Installed Swift FR-S springs and SPC LCAs last week and got an alignment yesterday. These are great springs with a mild drop that handle and ride very similar to stock. Highly recommended. Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1375229974.202648.jpg

were the LCAs necessary or just an upgrade?

It was necessary to adjust the rear camber since there is no stock adjustment. If you don't do LCAs or a whiteline read camber kit then you will be stuck with whatever camber you get with your new springs. Most people are reporting about -2 degrees. I wanted to be able to adjust to -1 degree.

-2 for me is about right

I weighted all 4 springs. LH and RH are very close. Mine is M/T. Is your car A/T?

Did you order those crash bolt or they came with springs. Where did u order them and are they OEM?

I also just switched to summer tires (Pilot SuperSports) so those made a huge handling improvement as well. I notice absolutely no decrease in ride quality, just as a previous poster mentioned. Even over some really bad roads the car feels just as compliant and stable as it did before.

Highly recommend these springs and Evasive Motorsports.





That looks great!

All of our customers with this kit love it as well!
