nope you can adjust up or down about 2.5 inches ... a 7" spring just gets you to the same starting point as the stock spring. 6" spring is too short, as you have proven :)

But then the link won't be mid way. I can't see how it will help. If I put a 7" in ill have to lower the coil an inch to get back to 26 3/16th. Then the spring will be right back where it was.:confused:

I installed the spl mid links and the 6" swift 10kg springs. The car is at a ride height of 26 3/16th on both sides. I don't remember where the car sat before the install with the swift spec-r's. I know it was 26 something, I think high 26. The spl mid link is about half way to get to that height and where spl said it should be.

What do I do? Buy an adjustable length shock ?
:tup:

to adjust the pre-load on the spring ,, yeah adjustable shock will get you there.

Synolimit I got your setup off you bro, so should I sell off the 6" springs and get 7" ones or does me having Koni Yellows make a diff?

I have no problems getting 7" spring. I'm just asking because synolimit's setup was with stock shocks, whereas I got the Koni Yellows.

Thanks in advance guys.

Like I've said before...a different length spring isn't going to do anything. If you put a 7" spring in there all you're going to do is raise the car 1". If you want it 1" higher than just raise the adjustable perch up 1".

I have the 7" 11kg 65mm springs and I have the mid link threaded all the way down as low as I can go and it is pretty much the same height as stock. I'm gonna try a 6" 11kg 65mm spring and see if I get the height I want. FYI I talked to SPL about the spring being wobbly or loose before there is load on it and they said that is fine and perfectly normal.

IF I have a stock spring suspension, and (for the time being) only want to have a "stock spring" in back...what rate and size would need to be ordered for that with the titanium midlinks?

7" since it seems you stay around stock height or 6" if you want an inch drop or more. the rear rate stock is like 7-8k but remember the stocks are a progressive spring while these types of swifts are linear.

Hmmm...great..progressive. I just want to keep the rear from slipping around during the One Lap of America. Time to do some research and figure out the best rate to go with. Eventually, there will be coilovers, but the budget, for now, dictates otherwise.

I installed the 6" springs and got the drop I was looking for and everything is sturdy and rides great! I really like this set up!

Installed 8" springs that I already had but will switch to 6".

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm considering the SPL midlinks and I'm trying to determine the best springs to pair with the NISMO S-Tune struts/springs. I'm thinking 7" Swift Race Springs, either 9 or 10kgf/mm spring rate. What have others gone with?

Thanks!

Actually I'm just wondering the actual difference with handling etc between mid-link and standard set up?

Anyone throw me a bone?

Cheers
