So I just ordered a set of lowering springs and camber correction kits for front and Back for my 99 swift. Does anyone know how hard this is gonna be to put in. I do the audio side for a living but the mechanical side is generally not my thing. If this isnt gonna be that hard I might do it myself, but if its gonna be a bitch I am just gonna pay someone to do it cause I am talking about messing with the suspension on my car and that can be a little dangerous.

Pay someone. I never worked on a swift so I can't tell you how hard it is. I will say that you sound like you are not to sure of your self. That tells me right away you should see a pro.

You will need spring compressors for the springs and an alignment tool for the camber kit. If you don't have either this will be virtually impossible.

it can be done by a backyard mechanic as long as they've there competitan. you've gotta remove the shock/struts and take the spprings off, like was mentiond above, use a spring compressor, and make sure its in good condition. if it breaks and you have your fingers or anything in the wrong spot, there's a good chance you'll be visitin the hospital

and the camber kits are usually easly bolted on. just as soon as you do it. call and make a apt with an alignment shop . don't drive around with them not properly aligned because you'll chew up your tires in no time.
