cfrx8, can we have pictures? I don't think we've seen an 8 with Swift springs yet.

20mm drop is about as much as I want, and if I can find something that handles well at that ride height and softer than MS, perfect.

Its a bigger drop in the picture than it really is. If you look at the car the drop is right where the wheel fits in the fenderwell perfectly. But because I have a kit on the car the car definately looks low. but try not to look at the distance between the front bumper and the ground, you should look in the space between the fender and the wheels. It has about 2 finger spaces.

Anyways I will probably post it on the track and autox section, if I do post it.

I just wanted feedback on what people think about the drop. Lemme tell you guys this though. I never ever bottom out. as the springs travel the rate increases. Im really shocked at the awesome design of these springs.

hmmm you mean your browser connection times out, right? You probably have a router(hardware firewall) or software firewall blocking things.

I'll try and play with youtube later this week and see what's involved and if you have to open any ports to do it.

I personally like the drop. Since I see snow in the winter, the MS or Swift drop is just what I wanted. Plus I'm not a big fan of the slammed look. The lower you get, the stiffer the spring has to be to keep it from bottoming out. As well as they do on the track, I'm done with super stiff suspension on street car.

Swift springs are among the very best. This thread appears to be about lowering springs, which are not compatible with coilovers. Are you looking to go to shorter, stiffer 'coilover' springs?
