hm weird, mine are like a baby(ish) blue, when I talked to swift on the phone they told me the biggest distinct is if they're blue its the SPEC R. IDK I was just wondering if they changed the color or something? lol

 

I'll call swift if I don't get confirmation by tomorrow by email. I was very suspicious when I saw the colour myself.
But afterall, this is on the outside of the box??

 

yeah call them and ask, easiest way to go about things.

 

If you can't get anyone on the phone at swift. Try stance coilovers they deal with swift springs

Jan that's not to bad but still kinda long wait.

 

Looks right to me.

The sticker on the box looks right which is why I accepted the shipment.
But the springs, and interior sticker do not look right....


Says Sport Mach on the sticker... and springs are black.. Not baby Blue.

 

Ah ****, in that case they look like the "standard race spring" not spec-r.

The Mach and spec r are different

 

Just got off the phone.

Spec R have been switched to black.

 

glad you got that sorted out Mike! And man, you're going hardcore into the track conversion! Looking good

how long before you join the salad bar club?

 

^Splitter and APR GT300 wing are on the list of wants. But time will tell how far this build actually goes.

Small update to the build log. Spent the last two nights installing the Hotchkis Anti Roll kit, and Whiteline Spherical Endlinks.

 

sexy rear end!

 

Log update. I suck at working on cars. Takes me forever to do anything although it gets done well eventually. I am still not done, but I will be dropping off the car for the rest of the stuff I can't handle. I couldn't swap the front Koni Yellows and Swift Springs on the front as there was one bolt at the bottom of the strut on the passenger side I could not break free.

And I couldn't get the ARP extended studs in because I couldn't get the 200 lb ft 32mm bolt off the axle. My neighbor sheered a 1/2 ratchet extension trying.

After that car needs alignment, and I have to get that spark plug on cyllinder 4 looked at.

Pics for my entertainment.

My cave for the weekend.


My only accomplishment. Swapping in the rear shocks and springs.


Then reinforcements arrived. On the mad German engineering gardening rake alignment rack. Getting carried away with artistic editing.



With the help of friends we got the Brembos on with Carbotech XP10/8 pads. It stops well. I burst a blood vessel in my eye maybe?

 

The front studs will go in without the hub coming off. But the rear they are just a little too big, and you need to pull it.

Bed the brakes in and they will pull your face off. I actually got a little nauseated doing it my first time lol

 

Try this for wheel studs. Got it at princess auto for like $30.

I didn't have to remove the rear hub, just rotate it. Maybe you'Z guys
are installing really long ones? Dunno.

 

Yeah they are 3" so they won't fit in any way shape or form unless it's removed. I tried and then tried again later.

^^lmao i just spit up my drank!!

 

I was going to give up, but, with the help of some buds I've been doing a little more.
Front shocks and springs are ready to bolt up tomorrow.
And will do the ARP studs with the help of kart's link.
