Just got these, Swift claims a 1" drop, but in reality, its more like 2.5-3"

 

looking good man

 

where do you get them????????

They look good.

 

All swift dealers can get them for you.
these are from ebay.
They are light weight, but not cheap!
Paid $265 shipped.
weighs 16 lbs for all 4.
jdmland also sells them.

 

Put them on! I installed my T1R's the day after I got my car.

 

Cool, I've been waiting for these.

 

nice springs man.

hey Mx6GT89 did you uses the civic spring silencers for the rear springs?

 

damn those springs are pretty pricey...good company though i would get them only if i was staying with springs, but moving to coilovers soon so no need to get the hardcore expensive ones...the skunks are doing fine for me...but like i said though good company

 

No I didnt. Just popped them in. Im going to remove the rubber bushings and put rubber hosing around the top and bottom of the springs. The kind that you can get from an autoparts store.

 

Updates PLEEZE

 

Great ride & performance.
But its rub city for me
They were suppose to be a 1" drop, but its at least 2".
What do you guy think?

 

so it rubs the inner fender well while turning? Are those 15" rims with stock tires? How is the ride quality

 

looks good is that VBP.......kus it looks darker from that side shot.....but looks good

 

thoes are not alot of coils in that spring, I got Tanabe GF210s and they had ALOT more coils than thoes.. so i would expect to see a bigger drop..

 

less coils does not necessarily mean greater drop, other factors like (coil diameter, material elastic modulus, pre/post metal treatment, etc. etc.) can also impact this characteristic. Swift has a long history in spring engineering and they are probably one of the best on the market (supplies springs to JGTC). If you go on Swift's website, they elaborate on their spring manufacturing process.

 

how bad does it rub????

 

Doesn't rub too bad, on dips, but on fast turns, it rubs bad.
Smooth ride. But I'm worried about
when I load up the fit with 4 people,
I gonna rub everywhere.
I may have to take these springs off

 

Looks alot like my VBP after having Skunk2 springs installed and settled in.

Mine rubs only on dips in fast turns, however on a nice smooth turn, driving hard enough to make the BF Goodrich G-Force Sport's(205/45/ZR16) beg for mercy no rubbing issues at all with my front fenderwells.

 

Well, I have been driving a few days now on these springs, and must say I love the balance of comfort & performance these springs have!
No harsh ride!


I also contacted swift, and are looking into this drop issue.
Be nice if they could just add coil or 2 to these springs to bring up the ride height to stock or their advertised 1" drop.
