Ok cool, I'm a little OCD when it comes to that stuff and just wanted to make sure that all the springs don't need to face the exact same direction.

So my swifts (driverside front to be specific) are creaking when going into driveways and making slow turns...and my oem insulators are on the front springs. I'm going to take it back to the shop and have them look at it, maybe the front driverside insulator isn't completely covering up the coil allowing a little area to rub the strut?

bmarcinczyk14 03-28-2013 10:16 AM

Anyone else's swifts make creaking noises even with the insulators in place?

Nope. Mine were silent from day one, same as the other two sets I installed for other people.... must be an insulator out of place.

Don't know if this has been asked before or not, but do you guys recommend the swifts for daily driving, or is the drop too much? I'm considering Swifts or Eibach, the roads in PR aren't that great to begin with, don't want to be scraping the car all the time.

I set up a appointment for them to look at it. He tried saying that sometimes lowering springs make noises, that's just what they do. He said his civic with springs makes creaking noises. But after hearing this I won't be satisfied until there are no noises coming from my swifts.

lowering springs should not make noises...especially quality ones like swifts.

Make sure they torqued the suspension components back into place too....

I'm sure they did it's a pretty reputable place. But I'll make sure they fix the noise when I take it back, I'm sure it's just the insulator needs adjustment. The first couple days they were no noises what so ever, so I'm guessing it just needs readjusting.

New Swifts

Just added some SWIFTS. I hope the front settles a bit more. Ride is about the same, I only drove about 15 miles to get it home until my alignment appointment on Tuesday.

Push the right pedal harder with your foot.

I have put 15k miles on my daily driven Swifts. The car should feel this way from the factory. The only thing I have ever scraped was the front chin splitter, which isnt a big deal at all.

Hi Kabestro,
I live in Guaynabo Puerto Rico as well, and have Swift springs on my Z. I love them. Would you like a ride on my car before you make a decision? I believe the car should have come like this stock.
