FYI X Sedan Owners - Swift Springs

Just an FYI X sedan owners, installed the Swift springs today and I could not be happier. The drop is PERFECT and the ride is way better than stock. Ive never driven a lowered car that drives so well. Anyways, just thought Id share that I am super happy and glad I waited.

Wow. Looks awesome! Ill have to look into those springs. Did you do your struts as well or just a spring swap?

I like that spoiler. What kind is it?

Just springs. Using OEM shocks. So far, the ride is great.

Spoiler is an authentic Tommy Kaira.

springs can be purchased by any vendor that carries Swift. I ordered from Lou @ amplified (myg37)

bat, can you, please, measure the height of the wheel wells both front and rear with these new springs.

I assume, they sit lower than with the stock G35S springs you had, don't they?

Maybe I'm wrong, but it kind of reminds me of the Sport sedan height. I wonder how it compares.

the car looks nice,,, however, the back looks a tad high, of course i'm talking just a few millimeters, plus the cloudy day makes it hard to judge the wheel well gap, cause its so dark....

yall are crazy. there is a big difference in drop. Yes, those are the after pics. Drop was about 1in around before settling. It is very noticeable in person, and I actually have to worry about scraping my lip now!

to all the haters, the drop to me is PERFECT for a daily driver on terrible roads. My 19s go on in a couple weeks. Ill try to make some sun pics. All I can say is that I could not be happier with the springs. For those wanting a mild drop with a stiffer spring that rides better than stock, I highly recommend.

Can you post a picture in the sun. Can't make out the drop in the front. Thanks!
