Stock shocks with the swifts are perfectly fine.

If you want adjustment on the dampers Koni yellows are great, but if you want something height adjustable I would go with something like a KW V3.

The V3 are perfect for compression and rebound adjustment.

Thanks,
Mike

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.

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.

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?

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