I was possibly looking at Swift Springs. A.V.E. suggested them at the meet last week and I saw it on an 08. It's a nice drop.

Yes, but they are installed on 09 struts and selling them together for $440 b/c I dont want to pay to have the springs removed. Maybe we can do some sort of core exhange for the struts, how many miles you got on the struts?

I have 3,000 on mine. How about yours? How much of a drop is it on yours? I think I saw your mod page somewhere. I'll have to look for it. I'm still just browsing though. My impulse spending got the best of me this month.

have a little over 10K on mine, 5K on the springs. Not too much of a fair trade for you, strut wise. Probably let go of just the springs for $180 with the trade for your struts.

swift springs. do you have any pics? i was looking at Tein, on one site it said a 1.5 inch drop. thats about what im looking for, maybe a 2 but i dont want to drop duckets on coils; i might be too tempted to slam it like my last car.

Are those pics in your garage with the Swift springs? Their web site notes a .8" drop. Did you notice more or less? How's the ride...close to stock? Sorry for all the questions. Are they still for sale? I might be interested. Thanks.
