installed the front springs today onto the stock Bilsteins - ended right at 13".

i'll be tackling the rears tomorrow

rears installed. only dropped about 3/4" in the rear on this set.

Interesting. I can't seem to pick up the pics in a quoted post, but the springs in the 2nd picture look like Swift took a similar approach to Flyin' Miata for the springs -- only a few active coils, and some "dead" coils at the top to increase the spring length.

I'm curious to see how they ride with the stock Bilsteins. Probably not too well.

[njaremka]

roads around here aren't that bad, and i drive more highway than side roads, but the ride isn't terrible. i've ridden in some bad cars, and this is far from being bad. its stiff, but not harsh. you can feel a little bit of float, but its not bouncy.

i make my comments based on the limited (so far) time i've had with the springs installed. the car definitely handles better, but i also haven't pushed it as hard as some might. these are also the first set of springs Swift has supplied. the production versions might still be changed slightly.

Oh my that drop looks perfect, another 1/4" at the rear no bottoming out during hard cornering and ill throw money at the prototype spring

[njaremka]

they ride really nice, even on the stock dampers. tracks nice and easy on the highway, not too much bouncing on the REALLY rough stuff, and enough stiffness to provide decent feedback from the road.

Do a 15 mph salolom in a parking lot. Does anything scrub?
