Picture of me rolling on my "special springs". All I hear is that my car looks lower than every other car on these springs. I must have gotten the special edition Swift Spec R springs!

Does anyone have any experience of before and after of tracking with these springs? Any time drop by adding these? I have put 8 track days on my OEM suspension, I am looking at these for next year or possibly KW suspension. I am still working on me as a driver. I am definitely making my OEM suspension work out on the track, but it would be nice to stiffen up the stock shocks and make it the car settle faster.

I just tracked mine at Thunderhill West two weeks ago. THW is a very technical track with lots of elevation, corners everywhere, and hairpins. I can't really say there was any added benefit from the lower center of gravity, since the Swift Springs are very similar to the CR OEM springs in terms of stiffness. It felt really good on the track, and the car was grippy on high speed corners. I still have to work out my alignment (1.0 front, 2.2 rear), and I had nearly brand new Potenza S-04 tires (225 front 255 rear). If I was doing the original Thunderhill track, in which I did the OEM CR spring/shock combo, then I might have more input on the actual difference. I'm very happy with the drop, as it has settled very nice in both front and rear. It's about a 1 finger gap for both the front and rear. When I first installed them, the front was 2 finger, rear 1.5. It's been 3 months on this setup and I can say that if you like the CR suspension, but just want it a little lower than stock height, the CR Shock/Swift Spec R Spring combo is your best bet
