I'm getting coilovers soon and I'm wondering if the swift springs are worth the extra money?

I want to get BC coil overs and I have no intention of tracking the car. I heard Swift springs are actually more comfortable for a DD due to the increased shock travel and constant spring rate. I also like the idea of linear springs due to the fact that they are more predictable.

I know progressive springs are supposed to be more comfortable, but I've heard Swift's linear springs are actually more comfortable on the street....Is this true?

Is it overkill to get swift springs on BC coils if the car is just a DD? It's not THAT much more money compared to what I'm already spending so I'm thinking its worth it. What is everyone's opinion on this?

 

Why bc? How much do you want to drop? You aiming for low and slow?

 

I don't want to lay frame. I just want a nice 1.5-2" drop.

I chose BC because I constantly hear they are fine for a DD who never sees the track. I have quite a few friends who have them and they seem okay for me since I do not want to spend a lot.

My question is if the swift springs will make the ride better?

 

Bump

I know someone has to have swift springs on their coilovers?

 

I went through the same thing when I got BCs. After much debate, I did not get the swift springs and the ride is fine. Save your money for something else if you aren't going to track. You just need someone to set the coils right for u and it will be very comfy. Hope that helps.

 

Thanks Gooniej that does help! What do you have your damping set to?

 

BC's are awesome with the swift upgrade but if you want best bang for buck save for some FEAL 441 coilovers. The are hand built in socal using BC hardware, hot bits shocks, swift springs, and they are custom rated and valved for your application. The real benefit for swift comes from being a lighter spring. It allows you to feel the dampening and get a better feeling from the suspension. I run 11/5k combo and its perfect.

 

I believe 18 or 20 clicks in the front. Forget what the rear is set to. Set it....drive it...and then adjust. GL!
