Sh0velMan's Track Car Build

Sh0velMan · 09-29-2013, 10:05 AM

Have to say, I'm impressed with the build quality for the money.

Might replace those bushings with some monoballs in the future (looks to me like they could be pressed out easily) but for now, I think these will be great.

What I like about them is that the ride height is independent of spring preload.

Did you go with the 13k, 6k springs? Did they give you the option to go higher?

I went with the default spring rates, which seem to be fine.

No sense in getting custom rates until the car has been corner weighted with the final wheel, tire and component composition that is going to be on the car for a while.

They're standard sized coilover springs, so I can get swift replacements at any time from any retailer that sells Swift coilover springs, so there was no impetus to buy them from Stance direct.

Can't be cheap though. To save some coin I might just go with 14k, 8k off the bat and they keep their defaults.

I think it's ~250 a set for swift coilover springs.

Could be wrong tho.
