Or maybe the 3is is just a sexier car..

Any pictures of OEM 18" wheels with Swift springs and 20mm spacers installed?

How much did it drop once springs settled? Anything noticeable? I'm content with the drop now just don't want it to drop lower once settled.

did not had a chance to measure it but I would think just a tad a little bit up front. maybe this due to the springs settling on the rubber seats and top mounts and due to the engine weight. I only noticed it since I got the car from stock and having it installed seeing the first drop height and after the miles it ran

Thanks that's good to know.

Has anyone installed 19" wheels + swift springs? Please provide pics or links. Trying to get an idea what it would look like and if there will be any rubbing. I'm planning on upgrading to 19" wheels down the road.

you should be fine. I'm on 19's and if I drop, I'm going w/ swifts. if guys can drop rsr down's on 19's w/ no issues, then in theory, you'll be fine w/ swifts.

Great point, thanks . I just checked and it's approx. 1" gap all the way around with stockers. I think it's enough clearance with 19" wheels.

I forgot, widths and offsets are going to matter as well, but if you're not too far off the stock set up...should be good. why'd I get a thumbs down??? haha

Wondering the same, swifts are on the way with SPC arms and might go 19s now....

swifts drop less? it looks more than rsr downs..

The rims are Work emotion CR kiwamis front 19x8.5 et42 & rear 19x9.5 et35, is this setup gonna rub with swifts?

Emailed swift yesterday, no reply. Called today but it was too late and have to wait until Monday.

Hoping they will work so I can order soon.
