Yah, I will admit that the weather here is unbelievable.
It was 74 degrees in Huntington Beach today.

In general, people purchase coilovers w/ 2 intents:

1) Lowering for looks
2) Performance

But there are 2 major considerations when they adjust their coilovers:

1) Ride comfort
2) vs Performance

For those into looks, the stock like settings of most coilover kits still yield a pretty harsh ride. So they adjust it softer, sacrificing performance, yet still comfortable in the fact it outperforms a stock sport suspension.

Those into performance would make the ride firmer, but man, the jarring street ride sure drives some crazy.

But with Swift Springs....

I selected track spring rates. Those who replaced their springs with something firmer know that this change automatically yields a harsher ride. In general, track spring rates are not street drivable for the majority of us, including myself.

To try to make it more comfortable, many would adjust the coilovers softer, sacrificing performance for street use (still harsh w/ track springs). Then when they hit the track, they would tighten it up. It's a common approach.

With Swift Springs, I get STOCK like ride quality on track spring rates. I could not believe it when I first experienced it. Not only that, the default KW V3 settings makes the ride too mushy / soft! What the heck?

I had to firm it up, setting my KWs 5 clicks from firmest (out of 16).

At 5 clicks from firmest, it still feels very close to stock. I just can't wrap my mind around the fact that, here I'm supposed to have a super harsh ride due to upgrading my spring rates for track use, yet I can get BOTH comfort AND performance.

You guys need to check it out!

This is why I love swift springs. I used them on a few porsches with very good results and we are about to team them up with a pair of Koni DAs from Harold...should be very impressive. Great driving too btw!
