After 2 weeks of riding stock, i've been bitten by the mod bug. First of many mods i'm sure.

I have the same springs. Rear sits nicely but wished the front would be dropped a little lower though. Pretty satisfied with them overall.

Looks more like wheels, tires, and suspension. Power doesn't mean much if you can't carry the speed through a turn.

Hey Giibo, looking good. Just curious, did you put in spacers on top of the rear struts or did you get the wagon-specific springs?

And what kind of exhaust is that?

Thx! no spacers, i got the swift wagon specific springs. The ride feels really close to stock in terms of comfort. I wish i ran Thunderhill with my stock springs this last track day. So i can't really judge the difference in terms of handling.

i think the exhaust is the SPT factory exhaust...looks good but no power or sound benefit. the previous owner must have put it on or he/she bought it that way. I'm waiting for more peeps to get in on the Hayward&Scott Gb for my backbox.

Do you have any daylight shots of the car from the rear down low? I'm trying to get an idea of how much rubber is on the ground with 17x8's and 225s. Also interested in how the Swifts have settled in - any rubbing? This is the exact setup I'm shooting for.
