Lowering Springs Comparisons

FLUJOKE · 12-05-2014, 08:03 PM

Mehhh then I better wait. Rather do it the right way. But don't wana spend $1,500 on fortune auto coilovers w springs. I know these 14's came with "euro tuned" shocks. Not sure what that all means but I don't want to ruin those.

Last question.... I hope. Will the swift springs require camber adjustments? If so can if just be adjusted or will I need to buy all these control arms and stuff?

I suggest buying both and getting an alignment

The comments on the coils being the cheaper way to go on lowering the Z is solely my opinion

And it wasn't meant to sway people from getting them.

I don't know man. I think Fortune Auto may be a lot more loyal and better quality in the long run.

If you want to lower the car without coilovers consider Koni yellows with swift springs

I have Fortune 500 with Swift spring and the ride and I love my ride and stance....and yes you will need all the supporting hardware. I have SPL front upper A arms, and rear camber arms with SPC toe bolts. The ride and performance much greater than just add lowering springs!

Yaaaa idk hotrodz. 300 for springs or 1,400 for coilovers plus all those adjustment arms. :/

With a grinder and cutoff wheel you can have whatever drop you want!

I didn't say it was cheap...but spending money on my suspension has increase my driving experience significantly!

I read somewhere, but can't seem to find it that there is a bit of a "break in" period with the Swift Spec-R springs. Basically asking if I will see the expected drop a little more over time or what I see is what I get. Have had them for 4 days now and it is lower, but not sure I'm seeing what the full drop should be, especially in the front.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Then try not to drive too much especially if you know your alignment isn't that great

I got the alignment when I had the springs and other components installed.
