Swift springs review!!!!!

IMO the weight difference would be the clincher! And the huge price difference!

Its very clear the SPL is the better brand/product. No Doubt.
But it always boils down to a choice.

SPL is the better product IMO too. I went with the SPC's because they came up local used at a good price.
My original comments were solely directed at the post regarding the issue of the SPC rear arms slipping out of adjustment versus the SPL. I merely pointed out that they have the same system using locking collars to hold camber settings. It's the lockout kit (for the toe bolts and camber bolts at the frame) that makes the big difference for those tracking their cars I believe.

Therefore if I track occasionally like 2x a year the SPC rears would be good enough for street weekend drive?

Same Turns feel so much more incredible with these on. I'm just waiting for my wheels to get in and hopefully, the drop will have settled in by then.

Seriously... I really don't know why anyone would go with any other type of Spring. I have removed Teins off of a car to install the Swifts and others have done the same with H&R and Eibach too. The ride is just THAT MUCH BETTER.... Swifts FTMFW

I agree, i had eibachs and they were just bouncy as hell. I haven't installed my swifts yet but i have been in a few 370's with them and they felt smoother than stock. Not to forget it helped the car handle way better.

2 quick pictures of my car on swifts. I really do love these springs, only wish I didn't need rear arms. Currently at -1.4 front & -2.2 rears...
