Swift springs review!!!!!

AlphaSnacks · 06-02-2011, 03:58 PM

Someone sell me your Swifts. I can't wait for my order anymore. Been over a month and I'm tired of driving the car with OEM springs.

PM me if you're selling. I'm totally serious.

I have heard drive on them for roughly 500 miles then align.

Where did you order from?

I think your spring is backwards, the part where the turns are closer together should go on the top.

Got it from Kami... Ordered them back in April.... Btw can anyone confirm if the springs installed is upside down.. Cause the mechanic where i sent the springs insisted that its installed as shown in the picture below..

But according to JJ-Nismo in post 219 its the other way round... So which one is the correct way? Please confirm guys... Thanks..

Take a look and let me know what you think! Do the springs look too compressed? What about the shocks?

Tighter coils to the top! You should be able to read the Swift logo on the springs! Make the garage reinstall those ASAP.

I havent corrected the installation of springs yet, was waiting for confirmation from you guys... will probably make the changes tomorrow... BTW was just wondering, what would be the consequences if i keep the springs installed upside down?

btw here's the result:

I would think that the engineering of the springs was specific to the handling characteristics of the car and you should change this immediately.

tjlazer · 06-10-2011, 10:58 AM

^ yeah, and you would think it would ride like sh!t too! How the hell did they install them upside down?

That's why I do my own sh!t. Less headaches like this...

See this post for what the springs should look like installed:
