Here are the pics I took earlier. Forgive the dirty car. Getting new tires mounted tomorrow then I'm washing it. Swift Spec-Rs on 255/275/35 PSSs. Factory bump stops and no spacers. [IMG][/IMG]

Just got 255/35 and 285/35 S-04s installed this morning. I'll post some pics later.

I'll take some new ones after I wash the car in a bit with the 255/35s on it. There is a noticeable gap in the rear now with the 285/30s. It was a .8" difference in tire height going from 275/35 PSS to 285/30 S-04s.

If you even knew, OCD at its finest. That and I don't like spending money on something that isn't consistent or that doesn't deliver what it is supposed to.

my e90 sits lower than that i'm sure. i'm running 275 all around so not sure how that plays into things. do you have a far away picture of your car? want to see how the whole car sits.

that's not anal...he's right the shadows are deceiving. if i bought the swift based off those photos for drop height i would be sadly mistaken.

For those that don't want to get into a coilover kit yet, I highly recommend swift for spirited daily and casual track days.
I had them for thunderhill a few months ago and they were great. No bouncing off bumpstops and just the right amount of firmness. Worked great with edc.

Here are two "shadowless" pics with the new S-04s:

Sounds like this might be a good gap-fill to coilovers - it would be great to get a performance upgrade, even if modest, on the track. This would cost me 0 points and wouldn't put me in a higher class in some of the time attack events, whereas a full coilover set would.

For those of us with Swifts already, does the gap seem more or less obvious when using spacers to push out the wheels?

I've had these on for awhile now so here are my thoughts:
I like them. They grip the road well even under hard driving. They handle pretty well in wet weather too. I don't think they are as good as my old PSS's but for the $400 savings for a set, they are definitely worth trying out. And aesthetically, I like the sidewall better too. Looks more aggressive to me.

Since so many people in this thread want to know how much swift lowered the car compared to stock, I measured the distance from the ground to the fender of my car on stock zcp suspension. If someone could do the same with swift springs I'm sure many of us would appreciate it.
