Teaser SWIFT Spec-R

AlteredBe4st · 08-24-2012, 01:45 PM

The E9X M3 has been out for some time now; maybe I'm missing something but why would a company wait so long to manufactor performance parts for this vehicle? The car looks nice, I don't see many red M3's around.

They usually don't lower the car very much and give the maximum amount of suspension travel while increasing performance and maintaining maximum shock life on a lowered car. Eibachs tend to be "too soft", H&R are "too stiff and too low"... Swift strikes a good balance. So you probably don't want Swifts to slam your car for looks but if you are looking for a slightly lowered stance with a performance increase, these are the ticket.

Of course every application is different. Let's see how these perform.

I wonder if these will be linear. I'm pretty sure Eibach and H&R are progressive.

I think one of the vendors mentioned it was linear. I can't stand progressive springs myself. They are usually soft on normal driving then stiff when cornering. It makes handling somewhat unpredictable.

Sean05, whats the measurement from center hub to fender lip with the Swift springs, front and the rear.

Fitment needs some adjusting.

does it released?

Swift Springs are so OG. I had these on my S2000 and NSX like over 7 years ago. Great springs for the track. Probably wouldn't switch to them now.

Yes please post a review!

I had Swifts on my WRX and they were STIFF, a little too stiff for my liking.

Sorry guys... i have not had time to give out a review. I have been very busy since i just recently moved in to a new place. I will definately try this weekend, no promises since i will be doing oil change for my car and the wifey. I will try to post the measurement on the drop, car is currently at the shop but might be getting it the end of today. again sorry for the delay.

updates?

You drive a lot right, any thoughts on comfort?

I was a test car for some spec-r springs on a different car. After really liking them at first, they were just way too stiff.
