Like Lou said, put the OEM rubber on the bottom part of the front springs. The metal to metal contact can cause some rubbing (creaking noises), but once the rubber is on there it is nice and quiet

Question, are we putting the OEM rubber on just the bottom of the front springs, or are you putting them on both the front and rears? Thanks.

Only the front pair. Your OEM springs should only have the rubber on the front; transfer the rubber to the new springs when installing. Put the rubber on the bottom coil of the Swifts so that it eliminates the metal on metal contact.

I went with my friend to get his car aligned at Evasive and they have a few sets in stock. Just letting you guys know. I dont know if there is still a problem with these springs being out of stock.

Are you guys using or needing toe bolts when your swift springs are in.

From what I've read, you will not need a camber or toe kit in the rear to get back in to spec. Front camber should be within limits also.

H&R, however, do require both front and rear if you want to get back to factory spec.

Does anyone know what kind of warrantee comes with the swift springs? For example I know Eibach comes with lifetime…which says the company really stands behind their product.

Swift Springs USA

Warranty info above; SpecR springs are 3 years. Also, give Swift a call and talk to them! They are very helpful and will answer any questions you have. I think Swift is the sole spring supplier for Japan's Super GT race league and they also use a more advanced process than most manufacturers. When doing compression tests, where the spring is compressed ALL the way and then they see how it maintains its shape when the pressure is removed, Swift springs maintain their shape better than other major manufacturers. They are very durable and are made to be abused

If you want the full life of your tires, I would recommend getting the rear camber kit, even if you get back within factory specs, you will still run a little camber.

Thanks for the heads up CFZ, I was waiting the end of the month for KamiSpeed to get a new shipment. I just called Evasive and ordered a set. They have 2 more left.

Thank U!!!!!!

Ok I just ordered last set from Evasive!!!! It's all gone!!

christian370z · 03-06-2011, 03:15 PM

I believe it is a 3 year warranty, I see no reason to doubt their quality as they have a very good reputation and Swift springs have been run on cars for thousands of miles with no issues.

I'm not opposed to a little more negative camber in the rear. As long as I can get 20k+ out of the tires, I'll be happy.

Either way, thanks for the feedback

Will have to see what the specs end up once installed.
