I had mine on for about 2 weeks, I autocrossed my car one time with them and wasn't what I wanted. I never even had time to see what they looked like settled. But here is a picture after the initial drop.

If it's just going to be daily driven, I'd definitely suggest them, they were a great ride.

They are good I was thinking about getting them but wanted a lil more drop so I opted out for espelir asd's. I love them and have not problems just have to be extra sloww and parallel with the speed bumps. But hey it comes with the teretory.

Yeah, those pictures were taken the day they were installed, and I haven't seen very many pictures of them when they are settled in, I didn't give em that chance. But I definitely agree, a full coilover setup up would definitely be worth saving for.

I definitely like about a finger gap between the tire and the fender, just to fill in the fenders.

they spring rate is only a tad more than oem, it's a good daily/show spring but will not felt any performance upgrade by swapping those.

does the front sit higher than the rear?

I switched to Bilstien PSS9's 2 weeks after putting in the Swifts, the swifts performance wise weren't enough for me.

Sorry about the confusion.

I think it's the angle of the picture and where it was taken, the parking garage we were using wasn't all that flat for drainage reasons.
