Swift Sport Spring review for ISF!

Recently installed mine as well a few weeks ago on my 2012 F. Rude quality def took a plunge. Was a disappointment to me actually since the ride quality was SUPURB before lowering. Went with the Swift springs since everyone praised the ride quality and was supposed to remain "factory feeling". But looking back on it, everyone who praised the ride quality/comfort after lowering on the springs has an '08-'10 F that didn't have as comfortable of a suspension as the late model Fs....
But mine isn't a daily driver so I can deal with the little bounce that's present. And only " bad" over rough roads.... And not really even bad then honestly.... Just noticeable to me. But looks so good that I can deal with it :-)
Guess I need to get an alignment now....!

It's expected to have the ride a little more harsh on Swift Sport springs since they are shorter (travel on the shocks are slightly shorter now) and the spring rates are stiffer to maximize handling performance. Swift does the proper R&D for spirited / track driving without compromising too much on the ride quality but it won't as comfortable as OEM of course.

Most drift cars remove rear sway bars for that reason

The results will also vary depending on the condition of your factory shocks. Things age and shocks will lose around 2-5% gas charge annually plus seal wear etc will cause further leakage. If you have mileage or time on your car then you may just evaluate going with 2012+ shocks and getting the swift springs for that version. Its monotube after all and has much better damping characteristics. Springs control gross travel limits but damping controls ride quality and the overall suspension response. Of go coilovers and we can set you up with a very comfortable ride and the performance to meet your needs and still use the best springs on the market.
We would be willing to offer a plug and play 2012 setup with swift springs pre installed for those that are interested.
