Swift springs review!!!!!

Red__Zed · 05-07-2011, 02:46 PM

I'm trying to figure out what size spacers to go with.... I think I'll need at least 25's out back.

In the middle of an install (can't finish the back because a locking nut broke on the wheel, and can't get it off), but I think I know a possible reason for those with abnormal heights. When I separated the fronts, and attempted to put the springs in the same spots as the OEM, I found out that the they don't start/stop the coils in the same spot. So, if you attempt to put the tophat in the same ending spot (on the coil), the only way to install them is to pre-load the springs, by turning the strut, and this will cause a height difference. I chose to take the strut back apart and match up the top and bottom alignments so it fit back in without any preload (and no turning), but the tophat rubber mount is not in the same place as the OEM (no biggie, I don't think).

Got the broke lugnut off, so finished it today. Took it for a spin, car rides great, and it looks great. Now I just need the bronze f14s to show up, and do an alignment.

That looks clean as hell. Did you use a camber kit and spacers?

Thanks! Yes, I installed spc camber arms front and back and 20mm spacers on all 4s

I think after a while everyone on this site will sell/trade their other springs and jump on the Swift train.
