Default Swift Springs

Just wanted to let everyone know that Swift Springs will be out in June. So there will be more options for suspension. They are using my car for the test fit June 6th. It will be the Spec R springs which are more of a Track ready performance spring. They just finished the RCF and it looks really good. Expecting it to be about the same on the RC350. I will post up pictures after the install. 👍🏻 Here is a picture of the RCF they did so you get an idea. I won't know the exact drop numbers until I get it installed.

Love that this should be a "track" spring. Can't wait to see it on your car!

So Swift did my Springs. Again this is the Spec R "Track" Spring so the spring rates are higher than the other companies. Rides like stock when in ECO or Normal mode. Slightly Stiffer. When in Sport Modes it is very stiff and rides amazing. Not so stiff where you bounce all over the place but it is noticeably stiffer. Corners amazing and everything else you can imagine with a performance spring. Drop is 1 inch in rear and 1.2-1.4 in front. The front sits lower then rear and looks just how I wanted. Here is some quick pictures on my iphone. Tried to filter so its easier to see. I will take better photos later at all angles and update. Any questions feel free to ask. Talked with the swift executive that was out there to test my car and he said should be released in July after I give them feedback after a few weeks of driving.

This is the RWD, They are developing the AWD and should be released around the same time. Not sure about the specs on the AWD. I used G2 Paint kit to do my calipers myself.
