Damn, I should have saved some $$ and bought these. Seems like a waste to have a new set of Bilsteins sitting in the garage.

I love the "hey I just bought these {insert part here} and haven't put them in yet but I got them so I'll make a post about them" threads.

It's not required by swift. I have seen it go either way, I personally would not do it.

I searched and found 3-4 diff pics --- look up a thread on evasive evo and you'll see 2 pics.

As soon as mine are installed and settled, I'll post pics up.

Why do you recommend against cutting the bumpstops? I thought they needed to be trimmed about 3/4"-1".

WinMotorsports is the exclusive distributor for SWIFT products and IMO, their service and showroom is unmatched. If anyone is interested, call them up and ask for Robby.

I don't exactly recommend against it....I know first hand it works well both ways. I just tend not to do it since it isn't required.

In the instructions they came with, it said to cut one hump from the bottom and leave the rears alone.

I installed my Swifts a few days ago and got an alignment yesterday. All I can say is these springs live up to all the hype. Fantastic ride quality. Seem to be perfect rates for the stock KYB's. A much smoother ride than I had ever imagined. Perfect drop. I am glad I didn't spend the extra money on the MR Bilstein's...I am perfectly content with the KYB's now for a daily driver.

If you are considering the Hotchkis (the other springs I have experience with)...you owe it to yourself to pay the extra $$$ and go with the Swifts. HUGE difference.

Any pics from the side? Its hard to tell with the dark rims on there...I'm either getting these springs or the Robispec springs (when they come out)...whatever drops the least is what I'll lean towards.
