Lowering springs for 2026 Blackwing

[Wizz]

I see Swift makes lowering springs for the 2026 CT5-V Blackwing and they look like a pretty good drop. However, I’m very particular [i.e. anal]. The rear is a touch too low for me. Does anyone make an adjustable spring?

I think Eibach makes a spring with a slightly smaller drop IIRC. Might want to look at their option.

If I recall, Eibach and Swift both claim the same amount of drop .7" front and rear but from what I've seen in pics, it always seems like the Swifts are lower than the Eibachs. I'm going with the Eibachs and will have them installed the first week of December.

I just installed Eibachs on my second Blackwing. I will post pics shortly. Just waiting for the sun to come up.

Thanks for the info. Please send pics when you get the springs on.

Can’t wait to see how it turned out.

Will do. Swift seems to be the most popular option on these cars but I don't like the slammed look. The few cars that I've seen on Eibachs look perfect to me. I also ran Eibachs on my 2021 Camaro ZL1 and the stance was perfect and I was very happy with the ride quality too.

Here is the car. From what i have seen the Eibachs are a little softer and are slightly higher in the back. I love the raked look so that is why I went with them again. I had Eibachs on my last blackwing as well.

Did you get an alignment done too or leave it stock? When I lowered my 2021 ZL1 with EIbachs, I didn't bother with an alignment, the car drove just fine and tear wear was also just fine. I'm debating on whether to do an alignment on the BW.

I have a shop so I will do an alignment in a few days after it settles. When you lower the front end the toe always goes slightly to one side because the steering column connect to the rack on one side. It may drive fine but the tow will always be off slightly.

Wow! That looks fantastic! I think the stance is perfect. It looks like there is enough room to go to a 20” wheel like I’m planning to do. Thank you gentlemen. Very helpful.

Btw, love that color.
