Rear Swift Springs Install:
Sunday I decided to tackle replacing my short 6" springs in the rear with a 7" spring. The spring perch was at it's maximum highest height and I felt it was still too low in the rear. The only real solution was to replace the spring with a taller version to allow more adjustment. I removed the springs and saw how much the 6" spring settled! It was standing at a 5.5" spring. No wonder I had no more adjustment! The original spring that was included with the Ground controls were Eibach 6.5" spring. Since Swift does not produce half increment springs, I thought it would've been a great idea to get 4 6" springs. I should've gotten a 7" in the rear in the first place! :facepalm
After 4-5 jackups to get the height to about 23" from bottom of fender to the bottom of the rim, I felt I had to raise the front to match. I have to say, it looks stock to me but I will be okay with this for now as I know I have more clearance when the suspension is fully loaded. The previous setup was 22.4" in the front, 22" in the rear.
AFE Intake Reinstall:
It's been a few hundred miles on the stock intake and I do not have a CEL for too lean. Something between installing the AFE intake and driving it caused the CEL. I decided to reinstall the AFE intake and reset the adaptations since I did not do that last time. I tried doing it through INPA but I manage to get a CEL and a crazy rough idle. A brief talk to Kalim and resetting the adaptations from DIS instead of INPA resulted in a proper idling ZHP again. Thank you Kalim for the assist!
Rear Passenger Camber Bolt:
I also replaced one of the camber bolts in the rear suspension. The driver side is completely seized, and I cannot for the love of me, move the bolt. I left it as is. I will address it when I bring the car to Performance Technic to address a few more items at once.

The picture suck I know. :(
On a sadder note, the driver seat seems to be getting worse. I may have to suck it up and buy a new skin for the driver seat.
