Hi, newbie w/ mods, i am planning to get the swift lowering springs.

1. Are they good?
2. Also where in bay area can i bring my X to install these springs?
3. If i visit a dealer for maintenance and noticed i am lowered, what are the consequences???

Please help, thank you.

1. Yes
2. Speed element in Fremont
3. They will take out a wooden paddle, bend you over and spank you approximately 5 times

That's more trouble than it's worth. Why would you need to go to the dealer? For warranty work? Consider your warranty void the day you drive your car off the lot because that is how Mitsubishi dealers will treat you.

Agreed!

Back to the topic, I currently got swift. They are not too bad. I would save up for some coils tho.

Oil and fluids also spark plugs, I do them myself now. The rest I will leave them to a shop.

^^^ NOt true I do them for you, cuz you still don't know how to change your oil :) JK... Yo !!!!!

Swifts are consider by many people some good springs, I have heard from many people they are very satisfy with them, including myself, although I have an 8 and not a X, but I am sure their quality is the same.

Swift springs are excellent. There are dealers who will be more then happy to over look your lowering issue in the bay area.

what type of maintenance are you going to get done? as for oil changes, it's better AND cheaper if you do your own...plus, Mobil 1 is always a good price at WalMart!

Just an inch drop in the front, 0.6 inches in the rear.

Love it. It still feels comfortable, but when you hit a pothole, kinda stiffer than the stock. I like the feel when cornering though. And here in SF, I now scrape my front lip... Next up, time to change rims...

I'm surprised you scrape the front of your lip with just an inch drop.
