Swift Spring Inner Diameter, Length and Spring Rates for Ohlins R/T
I'm planning to get the Ohlins R/T set up with Swift springs and either GC or Vorshlag camber plates. Hence I will not be using the OEM sized top mounts or camber plates.
I'm not sure if I'm just terrible with the search button, but I can't seem to find any of the threads regarding Swift springs, Ohlins R/T, GC or Vorshlag camber plates to ever mention anything about Swift spring inner diameter or length. I am ripping my hair out trying to find the proper size spec linear springs to replace the ones that come with the R/T set. For example, the Ground Control Street Camber Plate has options for 2.5", 2.25", 60mm, 2.5" hybrid or stock inner diameter. Very confusing. This is not for a lack of trying. I even looked up the dimensions on the Ohlins website and it makes no mention of the spring diameter at the bottom. For those that have the Ohlins R/T with swift springs and camber plates, what inner diameter, length, and spring rates are you using? I do majority city and spirited driving with only a few track days per year. I am planning to run Schirmer spec BBS E88 with 18x10+21 on 265/35 in the front and want to make sure it'll clear. Thanks!

I believe most vendors are having supply chain issues so they're not bothering to answer emails. I tried to order some camber plates recently and they sat on back order for weeks, apparently springs the same. 2.5" or 60mm should work with front ohlins struts, length I believe you need 8" (sounds too short)but don't quote me on that it might depend on the rates. Best to leave it to the experts and keep calling until you get the info you need.

Just talked to "barry"? @ 3DM a few minutes ago. I live one town over from them and I think they are a small shop. He had a car on the dyno as we spoke. All that to say they are busy. Give them a call. They have picked up 2 out of the 3 times I have called. Hope this helps.

When I researched on this exact topic, I believe the solution I came up with after talking to Barry @ 3DM and Harold @ HPA was 65mm ID springs. Front length is 7" if you plan to go lower than stock height, 8" stock height. Rear length 9" for lowered, 10" for stock height.
