New set up. Raybestos, Project Mu, Swift, SPC
Finally have all my parts installed. Raybestos rotors, Project Mu NS pads, Swift Springs, and SPC Adjustable Ball Joints. Brakes feel close to stock with less intial bite. Springs seem to be slightly more forgiving compared to stock and the ball joints make it possible for camber adjustments.

Sick lil set up!
You used the Swift springs for the F and B? You gotta come back and let us know about the dusting with the new pads too.
Are you going to get it aligned soon? I'd love to see the before and after.

I have an 08. I only did the fronts because I feel my rear sits perfect. I didn't want to mess that up. I have driven about 500 miles since install and the brake dust compared to stock is night and day. After taking a little road trip of about 150 miles I got out and to my surprise my wheels were still shiny rather than covered in dust. Alignment was done at time of install. I have the spec sheet at the office and can post it later if you'd like to see it. Actually, I would like to get the alignment guru's opinion on what I am running.
As for pics. We all know about the oem gap in the front. The springs dropped it right at an inch which is exactly what I was looking to accomplish. I need to take some more because this is the only one I currently have after the completed install. Taken with iphone, sitting next to my buddy's ride.

I need to get my front springs done as well.

hrmm...this is a nice little set up. I'm also thinking about just doing springs in the front as well.
Why did you go with the swift springs over tiens or other brands? Also, where did you get the sbc adjustable ball joints from? I like the idea of having the availability to adjust camber when needed

I went with Swift because after all the reviews I have read it seemed that noone had anything bad to say about them. I ordered the springs from VIPAutosalon and arrived with in a week. I am happy with the performance thus far.
I ordred the SPC Ball Joints from Curciut Motorsports. The instructions come with a tech support number which was extremely helpful for the one question I had on the torque spec. You can tell that this is a very nice peice of equipment when you see it in person.
