Swift springs on E92 ZCP

MechEngineer408 · 10-23-2019, 03:17 PM

Anyone running this setup? I'm curious how much drop should be expected over the stock ZCP springs. Just looking to take up some of the gap in the wheel well.

I’m curious too. In photos the rear does not look like much of a difference but the front does seem about .5-.75 inches lower.

I have Swift springs on my car, the previous owner installed them. They’re pretty significantly lower in the front I would say, in the rear just slightly. Photo attached, car is on 18” Apex EC-7 no spacers

Most time manufacturers quote the lowering specs based off the standard equipped suspension height. In the case of a ZCP it comes approx 10mm lower all around so you can subtract that from their advertised lowering rate. I would say 15mm f and 7-8mm rear would be about the drop you would get.

Perfect amount of drop

Thanks for the replies. I was going back and forth between Swift and H&R for the springs but I think I will stick with the Swifts.

I have swift springs on mine. Here's the drop on 19's.

If your car is dropped on Swift, then the set I had must have been defected because the front of my car didn't go that low. I sold them for that reason too. I'm wondering if the drop on the E92 is lower than E90. I used to have them installed on my 2011 E92 and loved them. Tried them on my current E90 and the front didn't do it for me.

Yours looks like how I remember my old E92.

That is interesting. I would be wondering if there is a difference in e90/92. I'd try to contact them and see what's up with it. I honestly think my drop is perfect for look and drivability.

Your drop looks great. I would have kept the Swift if the drop on my E90 looked like that.
