Bro try Fread Beans they are forum sponsor's here. Look for Jomer he is Pinoy and will give you a kababayan rate. I do buy all my stuffs with them.

I had my swifts installed in the shop for 2hrs,payed $250 to $300 with rear camber installed.

how come my swifts didn't come with that insulator in the middle of the front springs? It came just bare. Also, my installer put the oem spring jacket at the bottom of the front springs, is that correct?

You're supposed to use the OEM insulators on the Swifts.

Yes.

yea but some pics im seeing the swifts come with some type of insulator already on them in the middle of the springs, at the point where the coils get tighter, mine was bare and had nothing in that area. i do have the oem insulators put on my swifts at the bottom of the springs though, is that the correct location for them? not sure about the middle insulators though, im pretty sure the middles are supposed to come with the springs.

When I got my Swifts I emailed them directly because mine did not come with the insulators and, like you, some of the pictures I saw showed the springs with them. The good folks at Swift told me that they stopped shipping springs with the insulators a couple of years back. Reusing the stock insulators is the way to go (or no insulators).

So before there were supposed to be 2 sets of insulators on the front springs, one being in the middle that came with it and the other on the bottom taken from the original springs correct? So now the newers ones are only supposed to have the bottom insulators like mine?

Sounds correct.

bmarcinczyk14 03-24-2013 07:45 PM

Interesting, did they just determine that the middle insulators had no benefit and stopped sending them with it?

That is the impression I got from them.

Well anyway here's my baby with the swifts freshly installed along with 20f 25r spacers! I'm loving it so far, noticeable difference with turn-in and ride! I'm hoping I'm close enough in spec w/o the rear camber kit once I go in for alignment.

One thing I've noticed and not sure if it's something to worry about, but are the "Swift" logos on the springs supposed to all be facing forward so when you look at the springs from outside the wheel well you can see the "swift" logo? on the front left it's facing forward when I look through the wheels at the springs but on the right side I can't see the logo, so I'm guessing it's facing the inside of the car. I can't see the logo on either the rears, anything to be worried about?

wheee! 03-24-2013 10:03 PM

I doubt it matters.
