just a quick question - everyone seems to say the swift work well - but the bilstein damper is being compressed by the lowering - ride quality not affected??

They do lower and compress them a bit, but * supposedly* in such a way that it is still within their optimum range.

So... I have searched a long time now for a dealer that is selling:

* Swift springs for a IX MR with bilsteins
* Rear swaybar like Perrin or Cusco
* Front pads like PF97 or Endless CC-X.

Seems hard to find one that will ship to sweden and sells all these three parts of the mentioned brands..???

Damn, this is an old thread. WTF?



Yes to answer your question, depending on your wheel offset you may need either spacers or will need to roll your fenders or both.

If you go with swift springs and 25mm Perrin rear swaybar, are Whiteline bump steer bushings necessary for a DD?

No. The WL kit is not necessary on a DD.

An adjustable bar can be useful to tune for your driving style (I recommend both front and rear for AX/HPDE), but its not needed on a pure DD car.
