Orange/San Bernardino County for a car, or stock springs can be sent to them as well. They won’t need to keep them.


I am not affiliated with them, but have been harassing them to get springs developed for this car since I prefer their raked drops over a saggy back. I am hoping someone closer to them can help us all out! I daily my car, so I don’t have an option to mail them my springs unfortunately.

How long would they need the car for? I thought I typed this already but I dont see it posted lol

They already found someone and springs are already in production. If you are in the area though, I've got SSR looking for a stock IS500. email them at info@ssr-wheels located in Torrance. Need the car for a couple days.

Just got a notification that my Swift springs have shipped out. FedEx says I should have them sometime tomorrow.
Keep an eye on your inboxes pre-order gang.

Hey Josh - for these springs, are there any modifications required? Such as cutting the bump stops?
I'm new to this platform but on some others I've had to make modifications to bump stops. I love working on the car but not doing it twice just for kicks...haha.
Thanks!

Installed.
75-90% of OEM...bit firmer, slightly harsher/louder over potholes, better body control and less squat under WOT.
Bit lower than I expected and would have thought the factory rake would have changed but seems like it's kept the same ratio.
Wish my car had more equal camber up front from the factory and the rear can use arms to reduce the camber for better rear tire contact patch and better tire wear.
Arms in the front aren't as necessary unless I really wanted to adjust the camber.

Here’s mine. Just installed today and got aligned. Looks great in my opinion. Front camber is a little
off but nothing to worry about.

23usb500 - Looks great and you have done some cool mods!! Given that you are nearby, I may have to dig out my passport and go check it out - Answer lives nearby too, seems like we need to find an excuse to go to Maine (lol)
