Performance dampener w/ swift springs

cossie1600

they are more than 20 to 30% stiffer in rate than stock. how do you feel if i give you 20 to 30% extra work load with no other compensation. it's common sense.

cossie- im impressed with your explanation.

most people run 20-25mm spacers so that will reduce wheel rate considerably and lower the extra work load to maybe 3-5%? (just a guess)

which brings me to the reason of posting just like KamiSpeed... my 25mm H&R spacers are for sale in the for sale section. lol

Why would spacers help?

basically like attaching a pipe over your breaker bar to get more leverage.

your wheel rate is the spring rate at the wheel instead of at the shell of the strut assembly or spring carrier in the back. the more you push out the wheel, the more leverage you get...easier to compress the springs so softens the ride.

for bound it makes it worse for the strut, rebound, makes it easier. there's give and take. usually people notice rebound undulations more, thus a lot of european dampers are only rebound adjustable vs simulateous.
