Wow what a great review!! Thank you so much for that share!!

Do you mind if we repost?

Thanks!!

Thanks, and sure repost. My iPad has not learned the word Koni yet and still edits it to Konica. Hopefully soon I will open a separate thread on the Swift/Euro Tuned setup.

does $180 installation for these sound about right?

That is a pretty good price. The cheapest I found around here was $250. I felt that was too much and decided to tackle the job over a weekend.

^I agree!

I called around a few different shops and $250 was the cheapest. The back springs take about 45 minutes each at most and you don't even need a spring compressor. The front will take a little bit longer because you need to remove the shock as well.

Definitely give it a shot yourself to save some $$.

Def at least give the back a shot if you have the tools. The shop time to do the fronts vs the backs isn't that different since they have stronger tools, so you'll be saving almost half the money and installing the easy half yourself.

Just had mine installed -- after a few days of settling, based on OEM height I'm currently measuring a drop of about an inch all the way around.

To be more precise - OEM height on the Sport Rays: F= 27.87"; R=27.99"; on Swift Spec R: F & R (so far) both = 26.94"

:tup:

Jordo, grats ! Give it few more miles and see them drop another .25 ..IIR. Note: most have seen the passenger rear to be a tad higher even after all four corners settle. No explanation as to why...prob because most weight is always on drivers side..dunno, makes sense thou.

Enjoy them Swifts !

Curtis!!!!

Hello.

BTW: I put two calls each into Pierre and Chad the week before last and neither returned my messages. :icon14:

^ Pm'd you.

You are the man. Thanks.

Weird. The passenger rear is actually lower than all the other corners for me.

Just to add to the Swift height database, this is after almost 9K miles:

26.55" driver side front
26.50" passenger side front

26.60" driver side rear
26.35" passenger side rear

For anyone about to install or thinking about installing springs:

Remember to torque down all the pivot point bolts with the suspension under load!

On the front, use a hydraulic jack under the brake disc to raise it up to where it would be while driving, then tighten bolts. The distance between fender and center of wheel bearing is about 14" under normal load with these springs fyi.

I wish I did this the first time around :ugh2:

Hopefully getting my springs today, just need to wait for my tires/wheels to arrive. Waiting sucks!

Another day and the car is even lower?!

Current measurements:

F = 26.69"
R = 26.81"

Total drop from OEM now:

F = 1.18" drop (just shy of advertised 1.2")
R = 1.18" drop (over advertised 1"!)

Car looks and feels really, really good (note: Koni yellow shocks with the springs) -- about 1 finger of fender gap between tire and wheel arch.

I'll share some fresh pics later in the week, or whenever I see no further evidence of additional dropping.
