If nothing else, I'd like to thank you for being one of the few people who post the results of their spring install that actually shows something! 90% of the picts people post are these useless, off-angle artistic attempts that show nothing if you're trying to compare one from another.

I've spent literally HOURS searching around through threads hoping to come across some legit comparison pics only to be disappointed. Finally decided on Swifts and I plan on taking the EXACT same picture/angle before install, after install, and then again a few weeks later once they've settled.

...unless someone wants to beat me to it

Swift sounded like a good choice I considered as well. Keep us posted. Are you going to go on stock shocks or Konis?

Man, I don't know how. I'm dropped on Espelir ASD's and Koni yellows on the upper perch and I scrape every driveway I attempt. My fronts rub over dips in the road too, although my wheels are a more aggressive offset than stock.

Wyatt - I'm going to go stock shocks for now. From what I understand the Swifts are made to work with stocks anyways. They are sitting on my floor now - getting them installed towards the end of the month, then I'll post up pics and a review.

easiest way to get rid of "massive understeer" usually is just going into a corner slower But yeah... theoretically stiffer rear springs increase oversteer, thus 'decreasing' understeer somewhat

lol i'll take your advice and go a little slower next time, but yesterday i was just trying to see what turning was like in our car before i recieve my spoon x brace and rear tie bar. i was just surprised at how bad the understeer was thats all.
