Just installed these swift springs from the fk8 last night. So far the ride feels amazing (r-mode and sport). I’m planning on uploading a write up on spring install when I get some time soon. Way easier than the fk8 front springs install for sure.

Very nice! Did the installation require any additional parts like a rear camber kit, etc.?

I've had lowered cars in the past and each required a camber kit to dial out the change in camber. Not sure if I am going to lower the FL5, but curious, how negative is the camber after lowering?

After the springs have settled, do you find your FL5 lowered evenly from front to back? I find most FK8 springs have the rear a touch lower.
