Spring manufacturers should include all necessary parts. You should not have to mix and match parts for an aftermarket piece IMO. Also, which coil did your put your OEM rubber on? The Swifts come with a sleeve already placed in the upper middle of the front springs. Quote:
The rubber sleeves (silencers) will not affect the performance at all. They are simply to reduce noise and will prevent metal on metal contact. The material is very thin and will have no real effect when compressed. Do you currently have the swifts and are looking for a softer ride or are you considering the Swifts to ease the harshness of the Nismo ride? |

I did a Nismo review on the Swifts... search for the post for full details. In summary, the Swifts seem to reduce some of the recoil in the stock Nismo suspension. I noticed that when going over ripples or bumps, the Nismo suspenion compresses nicely, but recoils with a lot of force, providing a bouncing sensation. The Swift springs are stiffer, but do smooth out the recoil. With the Swifts, the car will still have a very tight set-up, but without the jerking sensation. Overall handling is improved as well. |
