Default Just Cause


Had to take this pic this morning on my way into work. I've been on the Swift springs for about a couple of weeks now and I have absolutely no complaints so far. I've hit many dips and bumps with the car fully loaded and have absolutely no rubbing issues.

Nice angle. Love the sunset in the background reflected. My GS is black too so I know the despair of keeping it clean.

Beauty of a shot! I'm still keen to get Swift springs someday when I have somebody I trust to install them (lacking time & tools to DIY). Any further comments on them beyond "no complaints" you can provide?

What tire size & wheel offsets are you running? (got the 10.5" rear, how about the rest of the specs)

I went with Swift simply because I wanted a lower look than stock without jeopardizing the ride quality as much. Ive had them on for a couple of weeks and I can say that there isn't much of a difference than OEM. I can even lie to you and say the handling has improved because I don't drive my car hard enough like that to see a difference. I ride mostly in sport plus mode so i feel the road a tad bit more but thats because I have 20 inch wheels as well. The ride quality hasn't been sacrificed as much as i thought it would. when driving it still feels like Im driving a luxury sedan. Of course this may be different depending on the region you are in. Im currently running 20x9 front +35 and 20x10.5 rear +45. 275 30 20 and 245 35 20 the tires are nitto nt555 g2. I have driven several times with the car fully loaded and haven't rubbed or scraped once and yes I have went on some heavy dips on the highway. I didn't want Tenabe because the spring is softer which is why so many people have rubbing issues if they go with an aggressive set up.
