i do agree with most of you but this is a fast car i had a 1.4 16v sri n this is nothing compared to that this is so much faster than that

wheels and lowering are a defo job to be done and the seats are nice tbh alot of body roll in the car thow

My parents had a 1.3 Suzuki Super Carry van which seems to me had the same suspension setup as yours
M.O.T failure - Kid might get its head stuck in your arch
Corsa's sit way to high standard aswell but kits are cheap nowadays, save your pennies!

Could you fit a ??Huyabusa?? 1.5T engine in the swift? Would be crazy, like the smart car with one in!

Still got the bonnet? Theres a badboy bonnet on the bay for cheap but its miles away, always the way when your looking for one.

One that will withstand a higher torque/lb rating probably
