I had several PM's with member ///W and his build thread and the Swift springs.>http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...725557&page=11
So i realy love the stance with the Swift springs,but was thinking about all these speed bumps here and measured the space between speed bump and car , and it looks to be ok .
Now i have another problem in mind> the yearly car inspection !
So OP a question....are these Swift springs coming with a TUV/Aproval paper , a paper that they are ok for car security ,and also for Europe ?( Damn this country ! )
I have the ///M220 wheels too,so i would love to know are there spacers mounted in your pic below ?And are your swifts mounted with E36 bump stop ?
Damn i realy love the stance with the Swift springs ,just perfection !

I installed mine recently too
However, the driver side is about 1/4 to almost 1/2 inch higher than the passenger side. Both front and rear.
Are yours even? As in, are both front/rear (driver and passenger side) same height?

I'm still on Oem, and i'm considering about going to Swift, but earlier i saw this and it seems that all our cars are not even in front/rear> left/right !
And that with Oem and Swift !

Thanks for the reply !
What"brand" of 12 mm spacers are you running ? No steering wheel vibration ?
And do you have TUV/aproval paper with the swift springs,so a paper with note that they are ok for the car inspection ?
Thanks in advance..........

I have stock 220s and the spacers are already on the car. It should be fine as those that run 15/12 with the same wheel still have space to go further out. I'll post pictures when they come in and I get them mounted.
