Q. Do you have coilovers ?
A. If you do than the GOLD Swifts are coil over replacement springs...
Q. What brand and model of coil overs ?
(Tell us the specs of your coil overs so that we can help you..)
Below you will find the link to Swift Springs. Check it out and see for your self.
SWIFT SPRINGS USA INC.
Remember that the stifness of the spring is relevant to the shocks you are using
for the intended application to maximize handling.
example: Koni Sport (Yellow) for exeptional road handling qualities,
Koni Reds to improve your car in general or Koni Classics (Black) modern teclhnology for classic cars...
If you need help on this just pm me the relevant information.
i want something stiffer too... hmmm

My coilovers came with springs. Why do I need to replace them?
Because everyone?s purpose, driving style, and vehicles weight vary. These factors can change the demands put on the suspension. Most coilover systems have a selectable dampening rate that control the shock?s ability to compress (bound) and extend (rebound), as well as ride height.
For example, you have a low ride height on your car and you are using it only on a racetrack. You will most likely set you dampening rate as stiff as your traction will allow. The height and dampening settings along with track layout, will reduce the necessary stroke you will require.
To prevent your car form bottoming out and damage your vehicle, you will require a heavy spring rate to avoid compressing to the point you hit the bump stop or bind the coil spring. Since you have limited your stroke, you may not require such a tall spring either. By shortening a 8

Looks like you can get a deal with swift for gold springs. You can just specify the spring rates that you are looking for. You can go up to 34kg...

interested in these.
how's the comparison to stock, handling and ride-wise? can't wait for the comparison picture between the red springs and stock
wouldn't happen to be having a groupbuy for the swift front and rear sway bars anytime soon would you?
also is it 250 include shipping? or self-pickup?
