Check Rubber silencer on upper part of springs.

The new ones no longer have that silencer, they are bare.

I wonder if you can buy the silencers separately or reuse the stock ones? I got my swifts used and mine had them but they are kind of worn.

you're supposed to reuse the stock ones on the bottom of the springs. the other silencer is up in the middle of the shocks that use to come with the swifts, the new ones no longer have them because i guess they figured there was no need for them?

We reused the ones at the bottom, I was wondering about the ones that go on the spring coils themselves.

ok, just to clarify real quick. If you buy swift springs, used or new, you are only supposed to get the springs themselves and just be able to re-use everything else OEM. Is that right? I just wanna make sure I'm not missing anything if I purchase a used set and may need to purchase other pieces of hardware to have them installed.

Thanks!

You're talking about the ones in the middle? Mine didn't even come with those, I guess they all no longer come with them.

Konis are on, just WOW, fixed the issues I had. I want to stiffen them up and see how they respond, but while the car takes bumps "stiffer" the ride is smoother, these dampen with the swifts much much much better. I am I can honestly say, this is how the car should have handled from the factory, I am so far thrilled. I do no racing, so this is a perfect street car setup. on a scale of 10, if hte car was a 5/10 before, its and 8 now, with 10s being good coils, I have a few more roads that need testings, but I will do that tomorrow after work, but initial impressions are fantastic. BTW, I shopped around and Joe at Zspeed (no affiliation!) Had the best price, I have bough a good bit of stuff from him, ships the same day and will hook you up.
