Swift will be a bit less drop, I believe the Tanabe 210 springs are the mildest of all the G drops though.

thanks for the reply blnewt, I will look into the Tanabe 210 springs. But as of right now i might aim for the Eibach pro-kit.

I just did Eibach Prokit on my car yesterday. This is right after, they haven't settled yet.
The ride is just a smudge stiffer than stock, so I'm happy with it. Also have 20mm spacers up front and 15mm in the rear. Stock wheels (obviously) and stock tire sizes, for now. Also, don't mind the dirt.

Who ever has swifts, do you have camber kits on them with stock 19s? I know there are G's on eibach that still on spec.

Eibachs don't sag nearly as much as other spring sets I have researched. I had Eibachs on my Galant and the ride height was the same several years after I put them on as day 1. They have an excellent product and a proven track record, I personally will more than likely go with those again. Was very satisfied

Many people can get very close to oem alignment specs without a camber kit.

But others get the camber kit for peace of mind and to be 100% in spec.

It really comes down to the skill level of the tech doing the work. Some have made it back to acceptable ranges and others not.

Another concern is that I know spacers are not always recommended for daily driving or with high speed.
Had anyone gone thru that using spacers without any problems?

As long as you get hubcentric spacers and torque them down properly in the star pattern you will be fine.
