Joining the Swift springs club this Friday, I'm hoping to see what the buzz is all about. Hello potholes & bumps!

I hope so, too. Everybody and their momma are telling me to go coils instead of these springs. How long you guys think we have before replacing the stock shocks?

It's a vast improvement from the Nismo. Feels like it's less harsh and stiff, but when you get on it, it's perfect.

Nice TJ, the Nismo springs are really harsh (which I don't mind) but recoil really hard over big bumps, so anything offering better comfort without sacrificing on performance is def welcomed man. Thx

Ok here goes my take on the Swift springs. Amazing! Right away I noticed how different the car felt going over bad roads (plenty of those in Chicago btw). Any sloppiness in the suspension before is now gone. Firmer and more responsive yet smoother and a more planted feel all in one. I intentionally went down one stretch of horrible road where the car used to feel like it was "porpoise-ing" before and now it felt planted, secure, and smooth! Remarkable that you can get a firmer ride along with smoothness out of the same spring, but Swift has done it!
