Hello,

The back height of the car suits me but the front is too high. I looked at swift sport springs but they are sold by 4, I can't buy only the front. My 2008 ISF has 108000 miles and the 2 front shock absorber were replaced at 95000 miles.



Some of you have already installed this kit since the last post (photos pages 5, 6, 7)? What do you think about this kit http://vipautosalon.com/store/index....t-lowering-kit?

My opinion : Very easy to install but for bolts and spacers, the price is not cheap (same for the shipping cost to France: 172 $...)

Don't do it. It reduces caster. And caster is your friend.

Every few years this thread I started years ago pops up. If you thoroughly read through all the pages of this thread it should answering all your questions. In short will this kit lower the front of car yes, will it drastically change the caster, handling characteristics, steering feel and and steering geometry yes it will. Don't waste your time or your money. If you just want drop the front, buy a set of used Swift Springs for half price of new ones you always see them for sale.
