Curious to hear from people with mildly dropped LGT's...
I just picked up a set of Bilstein HD's and looking at getting Swift Sport wagon specific springs also.
Curious if I should look at getting butt spacers too, if so, what thickness? and when or what thickness do the tophats need longer studs?
Thanks, Jake

Re: Butt Spacers on LGT
I was running spacers of 3/8" on my '06 LGT sedan, I was running JDM Bilstein struts with Wangan JDM springs.
All gaps where equal once the spacers where on.

Re: Butt Spacers on LGT
with a 3/8" spacers did you swap in longer studs on the tophats?jproy12 a écrit :I was running spacers of 3/8" on my '06 LGT sedan
im considering epic engineering springs now too... less drop than the swifts...

and why would you have needed spacers with you had a sedan??

Re: Butt Spacers on LGT
I did get longer studs to accommodate the spacers. As for why, it was almost an even drop front to rear in terms of springs and everything (even though it's stated otherwise), and I hated the saggy butt, so I added 3/8" spacers as I always had something in the trunk as well, came out perfect!04_STi a écrit :with a 3/8" spacers did you swap in longer studs on the tophats?jproy12 a écrit :I was running spacers of 3/8" on my '06 LGT sedan
