Hey guys, haven't updated this in a while. No real updates, just been driving the car and enjoying it. Still saving for my 10k/8k Swift springs, just had to take care of some more important stuff first. Anyways, here are some pictures :) I still have to install my second pair of camber bolts in the front, and drop the front a little bit more too when I get the Swift springs. Thanks for looking!

I've been considering a front lip like the one you have, Terence. I think it matches the mud flaps nicely.

Thanks so much!
Thank you, man! I love the lip, it doesn't compare to the JDM RS front lip, but hey, $10 for a decent looking lip is fine with me. For now, of course haha. I actually was considering taking off the mud flaps since they're kind of small compared to the width of the rim, but I don't know yet haha. |

Finally received my 6" 10k and 5" Swift springs via FedEx. Time to go lower and fix my fitment to get it exactly how I want it. I'll post a picture of the car when they're installed! Now I gotta figure out what to set my dampening to lol.

Hey guys, so the springs are installed along with the second pair of camber bolts in the front. They ride great, and I haven't even adjusted my dampening yet. But, only problem I'm having is in the front. The front left side is making some clunking noise as if the spring is loose or something, and the right side is just making some creaking sound. Do you guys have any idea what it might be? Thanks a lot!

Do the springs have those plastic sleeve things on them? If not that can be the creaking noise. As far as the clunking that's probably the rear springs. When I put the shorter springs on my rear they would pop up and down in the seats and clunk. They never unseated themselves though.

Have the front springs been pre-loaded correctly?

There is some play where the springs can move up and down a bit, but I dropped some of the preload a little bit in order to get to the height I wanted. If I spin the shock down any more it's too close to my axle. I was wondering if it was the spring bouncing, but once the weight of the car is on the ground the springs shouldn't be able to move, correct?

Current ride height. About 1cm of clearance between the rear sidewall and fender, and maybe half an inch clearance in the front. I love it. But I will love it more when I get rid of that clunking noise and the tiny bit of creaking I hear lol.

Found the problem! It was actually my LOWER sway bar end link. I didn't even think to touch that because we didn't touch it in the first place (rookie mistake, I know lol). Shook the car while my friend was feeling for something loose, and he felt the lower sway bar end link rattle, so we tightened that, and now all is well! Now I'm just enjoying the lower ride height with less scraping. Best part of all, being able to take passengers again :) Current pics.
