So i put the vogtland lowering coils on. The metro of mine has new struts with original coils. The swift has new lowering coils with 2-3 year old struts. (kyb gr2) on both of them. The tires on the rear of the swift are 185-70-13 and are temporary until i get my new suspension control parts on. So it will sit a little lower when i put the 195-50-15 tires on. I will go measure the arch from the ground on both and compare. They claimed they are a 1.6" drop. I'm seeing about a 1inch difference between the swift and metro. Seems to ride okay. I'm going to add a rear swaybar soon. Any ideas if this seems right?

I know this is an old post i bought some of these springs and they lowered it nicely, I get this weird noise now though, I thought I installed the springs wrong but I didnt I would have loved to go maybe an inch lower with stiffer shocks though

I almost bought them until I saw that they used pictures of Members rides without their permission or even knowing how those cars are lowered.
