How does it ride?

How does it ride?

First time going the springs route so it was all new to me. The first two weeks had me regretting cause it was super bouncy. Then basically after they settled it was night and day. The ride is very close to stock. On corners you can really feel how planted the car is.

Definitely recommend swift if your going the springs route and pair them with some spacers for that fitment.

Ride looks good!

Did you cut the bump stops when you installed the swift springs?

Thank you! Yes I cut an inch off.

Freshly installed this afternoon. Debating if I should have went with 20mm on on all corners, or if the look will get better once I install the lowering springs. From the tire sidewall to front fender edge is 1/4" protrusion, rear is 5/16" protrusion using a level and tape measure. Still can't make up my mind if I should put 20mm on the rear or not.

Hi all - thanks for this informative thread. Looking to install spacers on my car soon. With regards to alignment, did you all keep it at factory specs? I think my car is due for an alignment anyways so will likely get this done with the spacers and just curious what others have done here.

No alignment for me. It's not necessary for spacers.

Hi there! This is my first post on this forum and I have to say that this thread has been very helpful. Just got my Championship White Type R a few months ago and currently have 3k miles on the odometer and the first things I’ve done already was install swift springs and spacers. So grateful to get a glimpse of what people are running and the outcome on my Civic is perfect! The Swift springs are on point with ride height and handling and the spacer choice pushes the OEM wheels out just perfectly WITH NO RUBBING!

Direct plug and play with NO NEED to modify a single thing.

Just saw that Aeroflowdynamics released their own 20mm wheel spacers. Interested to see how they are.

That's too bad these come in a set of 4 spacers as you would have two purchase two sets if you didn't want to run a square set up.

 

[Dodif]

True. But cheaper than the Bonoss overall. In my case I'm just gonna go for all 20mm. But from what I can see, these from Aeroflow seem pretty decent compared to the Bonoss correct? As far as material goes?
