    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!

    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.


    On to the Pictures:

    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.

    No prob, Derek!

    Man, those springs really settled a lot. Real bummer about the seat. :/

    Thanks Steve!

    I'm actually trying to get it back down to 22.5" after it settles the springs a bit. I was aiming to be similar to yours in the rear.

    I'm waiting for the springs to settle and it should be match your 22 1/4" rear Steve!

    I want to do an alignment but tires are near end of its life (tires been on the rims since 2009 and at 4/32nds) and I need to get that camber bolt removed.



    It is weird seeing it on 135s but it's nice to see it on 18s again
