I saw more pics and I hope the swifts go lower, I plan to bring my car out to car shows and this is just not low enough:

^That's Phelan's car, such a sweet ride! I shot a few pictures of it a little while back, the Swifts will drop the car a bit lower than his current ride height:

thats the Spec-R drop, look there's less of a wheel gap

Just installed mine and drove on them for the first time. I'm amazed at the ride! A friend rode with me and had no idea I had just done springs, and said out of the blue "wow, this thing really rides great!" I'm very impressed...

hey guys, I've had my swift springs installed for a couple months now but I've noticed that they've settled in quite a bit. (The front in particular. The back drop is perfect tho.) Is anyone else experiencing this?

Its almost to the point now where I'm considering other suspension options because the drop is just too low for normal street driving.

I'll post some pics tomorrow...

Bottoming out is half the fun

post some pictures, if it's any lower than it should be I send them to Swift see if there's a problem.

Here are some pics of the front. sorry for the low quality. I didnt snap any pics of the back, but the back doesnt concern me because the drop looks fine... but let me know what you guys think? Its sitting pretty low in my opinion.

P.S. They didnt appear this low right after installation. They looked like everyone elses... but they just progressively settled in to what you see here.

^Looks pretty much just like my drop. If its lower its than mine its only by a cvnt hair. Here is a pic of mine, its from kinda far away but you can get an idea of how low my front is.

Phelan's car was at Amp when I installed my Swifts and I can definitely say that the Swift drop is lower than that...quiet a bit lower.

...On another note, my springs are still loud as hell, I have to give Swift a call already. (yes, rubbers are installed)

Yeah, I contacted Swift and apparently I'm right within the expected drop range after measuring from the center of the hub to the wheel arch, so I guess everything is ok. The drop is just a little too low for my own taste. No complaints for the spring performance or operation though.

yea you should have a approximate 1.2 inch drop

Alchemy · 09-23-2011, 05:54 PM

Personally I feel the drop is about as low as you can go and still have semi reasonable ground clearance. I scrape frequently but its most only the stupid front plastic diffuser. I believe the Swifts are a smaller drop than most springs on the market. I know for instance the H&Rs drop considerably more. 1.5 in the front I recall. Possibly more. The Swifts will ride better than any other spring you can buy for the 370.

Its good to hear the springs go lower than Phelan's car. His car's height is good for daily driving but not for shows. This, however is exactly what I want, how does the swifts compare?
