Swift Spring Conversion on KWv3
Wow! Quite a difference. Haven't driven many miles yet but the car feels much more planted. Definitely feel the road a lot more, but that was the goal. Went with 448F/784R and I can certainly state this will be the last manual spring compression I ever do. Good lord!
First time with camber plates also and it appears I got them together correctly. Alignment after install is not too bad with only a slight pull to the left. I can deal with that for a week or two. The 7-inch swift front spring was two inches shorter thann the stock KW spring. Took some work to get back to my 1-inch drop, but finally made it. Now very much looking forward to VIR next month to see how this package performs on the track.

Holding up well. Have no regrets. Car has turned into track only and the standard KWv3 springs would not have been enough. Camber plates are necessary for the fronts and made a huge difference. Ended up getting 5 inch front springs which gave me more height variability. Probably go club sports at some point in the future.

I've had the car since it came off the boat w/2 miles on the clock and have loved every minute of it. Decided to go dedicated track setup earlier this year and glad I did. I find even though I'm not driving it near as much that I'm having even more fun now.
