I do like the look though. And if Andy Porterfield (testimonial on their site) says they are good, then I might be interested.

I meant that I didnt know that there were so much road vibrations felt from the stock springs until I put the Swifts on there. In other words the Swift dampened the road surface.

I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Ah, ok, you are actually saying that with the swift, you didn't feel anything, vs what you felt with OEM. Very interesting.

Guys, look at this picture - good quality side shot with oem size wheels (the nismo looks like smaller wheels?). In this pic, the stance looks great, front and rear.

You can't compare tein and Swift.
Tein uses cheap materials sags instantly, makes all roads feel rough, and they are just that, cheap springs.

Swift's are well known as a high quality spring. In fact there probably isnt a spring thats better quality. Now drop heights and rates are subjective. But then i am sure that they have done their homework

the spec r's are going to be linear/progressive combo...the reason they did this is to soak bumps and seat the springs better..this will be a very street friendly spring but sill offer great performance.

wishihadnav · 08-04-2010, 04:47 PM

pretty much Swift>any thing else...extremly linear and lightweight perfect coilover spring for track whores..haha

interesting. if it handles as good or better than OEM, is LESS harsh on rough roads, and is a modest enough,yet noticable drop that i dont need to get a camber kit etc i'm sold.

Subscribed! Sounds like what I am looking for too.

Looks like this might be my choice if I don't go for coilovers.

LunaZ · 08-04-2010, 08:22 PM

Subbed!
