Swift springs review!!!!!

Tribalpinoy91 · 03-11-2014, 10:54 PM

To get in spec bare minimum required are the camber arms?

Huck · 03-11-2014, 11:55 PM

I got my wheels back in spec without any other suspension mods, but its not that often that happens.

So...got my Swift Springs installed today! unfortunately... they didn't remove the front rubber insulator and place it on the Swifts. Man I even told the guy he needed to remove the rubber insulator and put it on the new Swift Springs, and there's a sheet of instructions tell the installer to move the rubber insulators over to the Swifts. Got home, opened up the Swift box with the oem springs and there they were, the rubber insulators!!!!!! The ride was perfectly fine, no metal on metal noise or anything strange but I think I'm going to call them up tomorrow and ask them to redo, I don't want some creaking noise or what not down the road. So excited yet so disappointed by the job.

Speaking of which, do you know where I can get some more rubber insulators? I don't know what they are called and have tried a number of searches under "spring bushing," "spring dampener," etc with no results.

Call Joe Allison at ZSpeed Performance for a great deal.

Well I've had my swifts on for about 700 miles now and absolutely love them. The ride is MUCH better than stock. It almost feel softer, yet the springs are much stiffer. Swift magic

I finally got aligned today, and was not one of the lucky ones that didn't need a rear camber kit. Guess I know what's in my near future.

Camber Front Left: -1.5
Camber Front right: -1.8
Toe L/R: 0.0

Camber Rear Left: -2.9
Camber Rear Right: -2.4
Toe in L/R: .06
Total toe in: .12

I did a search on alignment specs, and didn't really find what I was looking for in regards to ideal toe settings. For a street car, I should be going for 0 toe up front and slight toe in on the rear correct? Like what I have now? Seeing as I'll be getting another alignment when I have my rear camber kit installed, I'll have another opportunity to fine tune the settings.
