Swift springs review!!!!!

joshs09slvrZ · 08-04-2012, 07:00 PM

Hey guys!

I've had my springs installed now for a couple of weeks and just had an alignment and road force balance done today! I had two tires out of balance which was causing some unwanted vibration...but that's all taken care of now.

I attached my alignment sheet...I'm happy with the results and won't be purchasing a camber kit.

Swifts installed as of this Thursday! I've been too busy driving my face off till now

Gotta say, the drop is perfect to me. Only thing is, the wheels look a bit more inset since it's closer to the wider upper fender vs the tapered down lower side.

Ride really isn't noticeably harsher and I have much more confidence going into turns on my favorite stretch of road. Car stays much flatter and I've yet to see any understeer, so I guess it made the car more neutral.

I'm very happy with them!

Wonder how these (Swift) will handle/ride with the new 2013 Euro-Sport Tuned shocks, available as an optional accessory upgrade for the 2013 model.

I am considering them over aftermarket shocks currently available because the price of a set of Koni Yellows is at $750. Plus roughly $325 for Swifts totaling $1075, now it's almost at the price of a good set of coil overs.

OEM (2009) shocks run $500. Euro-Sport Tuned shocks, I am guessing will be somewhere between $600-700 tops. It will be interesting to see who will be the first to pull the trigger on this combo.

Are you running spacers? I'm planning on switching over from my "hella flush" setup. I've come to the conclusion crazy wide wheels and slammed just isn't practical for a daily driver, not to mention I want my comfortable ride back. My cousin TJAZER swears by these.. Should have listened to him in the first place instead of going with my BC setup.. Which btw one of the rear coils has frozen in the highest position which is still lower than stock SMH.. Maybe I'm getting old.. haha

He's running a 15mm/20mm setup.
