cfrx8, can we have pictures? I don't think we've seen an 8 with Swift springs yet.

20mm drop is about as much as I want, and if I can find something that handles well at that ride height and softer than MS, perfect.

nice...just what I"m looking for.

Its a bigger drop in the picture than it really is. If you look at the car the drop is right where the wheel fits in the fenderwell perfectly. But because I have a kit on the car the car definately looks low. but try not to look at the distance between the front bumper and the ground, you should look in the space between the fender and the wheels. It has about 2 finger spaces.

I actually have videos too.

cfrx8

How the heck do I do that. Sorry man Im not too tech savy

Anyways I will probably post it on the track and autox section, if I do post it.

I just wanted feedback on what people think about the drop. Lemme tell you guys this though. I never ever bottom out. as the springs travel the rate increases. Im really shocked at the awesome design of these springs.

You out to be able to up load them to youtube. Just sign up for a free account. If you have the movies on your computer they should tell you how to do the rest.

my comp times out every time I try to upload a video.

SmokeyTheBalrog

hmmm you mean your browser connection times out, right? You probably have a router(hardware firewall) or software firewall blocking things.

I'll try and play with youtube later this week and see what's involved and if you have to open any ports to do it.

I personally like the drop. Since I see snow in the winter, the MS or Swift drop is just what I wanted. Plus I'm not a big fan of the slammed look. The lower you get, the stiffer the spring has to be to keep it from bottoming out. As well as they do on the track, I'm done with super stiff suspension on street car.

cfrx8

Oh yeah thats right. I will be going to another track day if anyone else is interested. Pm me. I set them up so.
I will also post in the events section. I will link it.
MAY 27 Sunday. Willow springs.

sooo I currently have tein street basis but wanted a little more low so wanted to switch the springs out for swift springs...any opinions on them? im looking for drop about an inch lower

Swift springs are among the very best. This thread appears to be about lowering springs, which are not compatible with coilovers. Are you looking to go to shorter, stiffer 'coilover' springs?
