Default Swift springs?

On the bc coilovers there is an option to upgrade to swift springs is is worth it the price jumps from $995 to $1325 so is the additional couple hundred dollars worth it? or should I just suck it up and spend $1900 on the hks coilovers for my car and just put the bc's I have now on my wife's ls?

Figs says the swift springs are more for track use and competition. probably overkill for a daily driver boat like ours.

Swifts are a great spring. They are definitely more performance based, so if you are daily driving your car, it might not be worth it to shell out the extra $300+. Let me know if you need any assistance in ordering a set. I bet i could do a little better on the price for you as well.

I plan on tracking my car at Watkins Glen in the summer my wifey has an 05 ls and we just did all ultra racing bars and such for it same with my ls I am curious as to how far you can push these cars once you tighten up the suspension a bit and get rid if the luxery feel of it.

With your LS1 and T56 swap, you should be able to rule the roads.

Mind posting a few pics of your and your wife's car side by side and showing the engine bay mods in your car? Thanks much!

Before he was called out, he was posting damn near everyday about carbon fiber drives shafts, thousands of dollars in suspension parts, custom built turbo kits, stroker motors etc. Baffles me why someone would pick an LS forum to troll on in such detail saying he has an ls1 swap and wants to do track days while his wife has a stock one blah blah blah. People like this should be banned from the forum if there only intent is to lie and mislead people while wasting his own and everyone else's time.
