SWIFT Springs in Production

egz

Looks good! How has the ride quality changed? Is it more stable at higher speeds? Thats what I really want for my car, the stock sport package feels mushy and feels like its floating at high speeds.

The spring is a progressive and linear combo I believe so it handles great once you get on it. But it handles normal driving very nicely too. I had the Nismo combo on before and that was harsh as hell! This is nice and exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend them. I hope these don't go any lower as I think it's perfect the way it is! I might even get away with not having a camber kit installed. I am ok with some negative camber even if out of spec...

I love the swifts also.

Normal driving is as smooth as stock, but sudden dips and potholes are much softer. The ride is very enjoyable. Once you start to drive a little more aggressive, the spring feel very tight and there is far less body than before. Car feels great! I love these springs so far

Actually these are linear springs. I think its the material used for the spring that makes it feel comfortable like it is.

I read about it but Ill look around and post up a link that describes it if I can find it again.

are you still running nismo struts with these springs?

CFZ

I will answer for him. No. He sold his suspension kit. He is on stock shocks, unless he just recently changed it.

ah thanks. must have missed that post.. hoping someone with a nismo installs these! (curious if the stiffer struts do anything to the drop)

Generally speaking it will not. Stiffer shocks normally have to do with the ride height. it has to do with the internal valving. The only way a shock will increase the height of the car is if they have a much higher gas pressures, which increase the internal spring rate of shocks. Even then the increase in shock pressure only raises the spring rate a hair, so the height changes will not be too affected. Now I'm not sure but I think the stock shocks as well as the nismo's are twin tube shocks. So they are low pressure units.
