Nice.

Swift has always made great quality springs in Japan. Since the springs only work in terms of spring rate, there's not much in the difference of effectiveness against another maker as long as the rating is correct. However, a good spring will last longer, by not sagging over time and resisting any type of breakage from stress and corrosion.

Congratulations!

PS.(I'm surprised you took the time to do the installation by using your old shocks! with labor either by your time or costs for another guy to do it...
Then again, I know that feeling of "I have it and I want it on there NOW!" LOL!)

Malaysia installation cost is cheaper than usa, only US$70 for changed 4 pcs springs, i just want to know the effect of this springs, for me i prefer a little higher spring rate. i will change the absorber when it become soft or a good aftermarket absorber coming out. My own town is far from Kuala Lumpur, no specialists to adjust the coilovers, this is why i dont go for coilovers.
