I'd go with coilovers but there's not a good quality made set for them unfortunately

I like them but the ride is more stiff and can be more annoying on bad roads. The front is too much lowered to my taste and had to shim the front coils (1/2"). On the pic, it is before the front shims. You will need front camber kit for sure.

The funny thing is all mine are in spec but my right rear toe is off I am wondering if I should leave it alone like everyone is saying but idk yet waiting a few weeks and gonna see after my 2nd alignment.

Does your car is lowered like mine in the front? I'm surprised you are in spec for the front...

I thought it was the left rear that has too much toe?

Should be able to get the front camber very close to spec (if not within) on Swifts without a camber kit. The rear camber too.
Getting the front and rear toe within spec is achievable. Mine are within spec on Eibachs without any kits.

Front spec camber are:
-1.08 to 0.42 and with swift (before camber kit), I had:
-1.35 (left) and -1.46 (right)
Numbers was too much aggressive but the handling was amazing

Just got lowered on some swifts 4 days ago. Initial impressions are the same as most. They drive great on nice roads, but when the roads get rough you can feel it. Its a much sportier type of ride, and I actually prefer it. Nothing I didn't expect and nothing really new to add that hasn't already been said. Looks wise I couldn't be happier. They make such an impact visually.

Bonus my car got completely within spec without any camber kits. Here's a pic. I'll have to get better photos soon, but for now an iphone pic will have to do.

are the springs the same for both the 08 and 09 and up (there is a weight difference)? does anybody with an 08x on swift springs have measurements from ground to fender for front and rear?

Yeah I believe the springs are the same part #, but due to the weight the 09 goes a little lower.
