Looks good, however... did you install both the front and rear springs?

Sits very nicely!

Did you do the install yourself? If so how much harder was it to do the rears as opposed to the fronts?

Very nice set up! I am amazed how smooth they ride vs stock.. You really can't tell a difference.. But it's amazing how much a inch make a difference in how aggressive it looks, especially in white. Great looking car buddy!

Springs don't settle. If the install was done correctly, you should be at final ride height. If they failed to reset the bushings to neutral, it may come down a little. If it does, your bushings are getting beat up.

A good friend of mine did the install. But i wouldn't say the rears are harder to do, maybe a bit more time consuming because of taking out all of the interior trunk pieces. He also had to do the rear springs upside down in the strut spring compressor. Still very straight forward though.

The car looks amazing. I am happy to hear you had to rubbing even with the drop. RedlineAZ had rubbing with his Vossens even at stock height and had to have the fenders rolled. I was blown away by the ride quality of the swift springs. I would have never believed that the ride is 100% equal to stock unless I had physically driven in a car with them installed. Its amazing .
