my swift spring rate is
325 front
291 rear
.8 front drop
.6 rear drop
my bilstein sport shock/dampers are at bilsteins right now getting revaled for the 430sc
the 430sc is 210 lbs more then the gs300
what is the spring rate you are using on your car?

I need to look it up, but its TTE springs made for 02-04 sc430. as long it is made for your car youre ok.
All this years i have played with car suspensions and learned that springs always dictate ride heights, but this bilstein sp changed all that, because due to 120 lbs more force stiffness its actually help the springs raised my ride by almost a 1/4 " and settled back down 1/8" after about 60 miles.
At first i though maybe because the GS are heavier in the rear.

if you send them bilstein for revalving you will have bilsteins on all 4 corners and a much better dampers then megans, not knocking megans other wise i would have got them. i just think bilsteins are a better damper. now that i know bilsteins will fit the rear. i will order them for gs300 rears and send them to bilsteins for revalving also.

i have the swift spring on my car at present time. they are not cut spring. they are made from
H5S.TW which is different then spring made today. check the web site SWIFT SPRING.COM. You will find why i use them. one of the sweetest springs, made. bar none. they are widley used in japan. much lighter spring and less coils. you don't need a heavy spring you the right spring to do the job
gene
thank so much for telling they fit and they are on your car saved me a lot of time.

219.00 both front dampers
240.00 both rear dampers
120.00. revaling front dampers
120.00 relaving rear dampers
total cost 699.00 for all bilsteins sports on all 4 corners
if i didn't get them revalved 459.00
can't beat the price.

Thats a GREAT deal for the rears! If you dont mind me asking, where did you find them that cheap?
