I see a lot of spring combos mentioned in this thread, but have not seen much regarding the swift spec R springs and what spacers would work. I'm thinking of ordering a set of these springs on my stock struts and would prefer not to pull or roll my fenders in any way.
15 mm front 20 mm rear for maximum flush-ness w/o any rubbing? please help! thanks.

It's now lowered on Swift Spec R springs, stock shocks and 215f/245r tires. I added 15mm front and 17mm rear spacers. I took some really quick shots today during my quick lunch. I don't daily it, so I never see it during the day. I'm washing Sunday and can get a lot more pics. So far no rubbing!
P.S. Sorry for the dirty car, the front bumper is getting repainted soon, so I don't want to put the front lip on. I'm also having the hardtop fixed.

Thanks! Only rubs on bad dips in the road. Even then, its a very minor rub. Just makes a small faint noise. Yes those are 255 in the rears. The fenders are rolled with the bumper tab relocated.

I just installed hubcentric 15mm Ichiba V2 spacers in the rear of my stock AP2. I'm riding on 255/40/17 Bridgestone RE11As and I also rub on bad dips in the road. I have no fender mods and have a stock alignment.

Reeeally. Yours looks more aggressive than 15mm! That makes me rethink what I'm going to go with, I was thinking 20mm with 255 in the rear but I think that will be too aggressive! I'll have to ponder this one a bit more.
