Yeah, I've got a set of front springs from the Blue ForkenSwift car (it's currently wearing the stiffer springs from the red car). The blue springs should be less stiff than the ones in the Firefly (lighter car), plus they've also got 186,000 km on them (vs. 16,000 km), so I'd expect them to lower the black car without having to cut them. The rears however aren't the same between the 2 body styles, so I'm not sure what I'll do there. But I'd like a 2 inch drop.

Unfortunately, this is a mod that won't be easy to properly compare before/after.

Why have you removed your stuff?
