Ok guys, my springs turned up today! Got no instructions though. Just need to know if I have to cut bump stops and if I do, how much?
Front bump stops do not need to be cut - the rear you should cut 1/2" off. I did front springs only - love the look. Oops, I should clarify. The instructions for the 2008-2011 say cut 1/2" in the rear - not sure about the 2012+.

Thanks very much. Love the look of your car, looks mean!
I installed my Swift springs last night, I'm very happy with how they've turned out. Installation was very quick too!
I've been for two drives, the suspension seems a little bit firmer, steering seems a bit better too. I'll reserve my final judgement for after the placebo effect has worn off lol!
Here's a few quick iPhone pics. Looks like how it should have come from factory! I'm running 245/275 tires and the wheels don't look as sunken in as I thought they would. This is going to look really sweet when I finally get my 15mm spacers installed!
Oh, and I didn't cut the rear bump stops either. The rear swift springs looked to be the same height as the stock springs so didn't bother just yet. Although I didn't bother measuring, the rear drop with the Swift springs is very minimal, if anything at all. If I get any bumping, I'll take out the rear shocks again and cut them then.
Looks great..they will likely settle a little bit lower. That tire fitment looks really nice!
thanks man. Yeah I love the Michelin PSS 245/275 combo on stock rims. Looks perfect, and a nice increase in grip over the OEM Bridgestone 225/255 combo. I'm still waiting for my spacers to turn up, can't wait to get them on! I think I might get away with not rolling the rear guards, but it'll be close.
I installed my swift springs and 15mm spacers over the weekend and the car does look great now. I will snap some pics and post them up today after I clean the car. Back looks about perfect and the front looks good too, but I probably could of done a 20mm spacer in the front. Not sure if it would rub though. I trimmed the bump stops about 1/2 inch in the front and back. No issues when driving and no rubbing at all. The springs do ride about the same as stock to me. I just figured it was safer to do 15mm all the way around to keep it the same. Definitely happy with the outcome though.
