no....it's the car in the avitar.


I purchased swift springs several yrs ago.(aftermarket lowering springs) desighned for that exact model.
Rear constantly bottomed out and the ride was terrible. I removed the rear and keep the fronts(briefly) I then removed the fronts. and the stock psrings relpaced.
Last year I recieved a slightly used rear set of springs from an 2007 M45 and installed those. They lowered the rear about 1/2 inch and saw no noticeble change in ride quality.
The compressors were installed to test the theroy that a better angle on the front would improve mileage. Which they did. And the ride is much better than with the swift spring kit.
