Question about Swift Spring Upgrades... Has anyone tried these out on a a bc/ff/d2/megan type coilover? I currently have FF Type 2 coilovers 8k front 6k rear on my s14... but they are a little bit bouncy/soft, and i have the dampening rock hard. I was thinking about possibly switching to Swift Springs with a higher spring rate 10k front 8k rear.

But just out of curiosity, are you looking to make your car lower by shortening the spring? I would strongly suggest to not do so as the dampers are made for a specific spring length. With that said, you could get them revalved and adjusted to the new spring length. And to answer your question, the only aftermarket spring company that I would go with is Swift. |

I'm a big fan of swift springs. Billstein makes an inverted damper which is beefy as hell. Def want to try retrofiting those to fit in a 240sx one of these days. I haven't cut my tubes yet. Maybe if i'm bored next week i'll do that. Building these for my janky grassroots style grip/drift/race car and putting my drop engineering ones on a dd i dont have yet. Lol. Great thread. ALOT of info in here. Subbed!

Went through all 8 pages and to be honest didn't find a lot of reviews it was mainly about prices. I just picked a 240sx last week and i'm looking for some coils just for daily, i'm not cheap but don't want to spend a lot like i had invested in my 07 IS or my current 2014 IS as i said the car is going to be my daily.....so far these 3 came to mind JSK, Godspeed and Blackworks....

with appropriate ride height, and soft damper settings, going over the crap roads in socal arent bad at all. when aggressively lowered with stiff damper settings they can be a bit porpoise-y for daily ( i just made up that word). I.E. when you hit a bump and let off throttle your car will slightly rock. Not sure if the guys with the 2k coil overs experience the porpoise you can get from being aggressively lowered, would love someone with more experience with coils to chime in. anyway GL man. |
