Default Swift springs - 08-11 or 12+?

Thinking ahead to spring (no pun intended...) and trying to figure out which Swift springs to go with for a 2011 F.

Looks like the 2012s are just a bit stiffer. Can either model of springs be used on a 2011?

Does anyone have 2012+ springs on a 2011?

I have them on a 2008, BUT they are mated with 2013/2014 Sachs shocks. IIRC, the spring from my 2008 wouldn't have seated on the perch correctly. Not sure of your mileage on your shocks now, but it most likely would be a great time to upgrade to the 13/14 shocks. If you like your ride/handling now, just get 2011 stuff again.

2012+ springs don't fit on 2008-2011 shocks.

There's a post on here somewhere showing the differences.

Got it. Makes sense and now I recall reading about the fitment match to the 2012-14 shocks. Thanks for the reminder.
