I picked up a set of Koni's and plan on running Swift springs.
I usually have dropped my vettes about 2"s with Koni's.
I like the firm but roadable feel.
What would the Swift's drop, plus lowering it a notch on the Koni's, drop be all together??
And how would it affect my alinement? Would I need additional parts to get it alined??
Thanks, Butch

I have the exact same combo. Koni yellow shocks with swift springs. I have the spring seat sitting on the lower perch of the shock and it's a pretty good drop. The top perch of the shock is similar to stock height. With that said, swift springs give you a 0.9" drop on the front and 0.75" drop on the back i think. So lowering it on the shock should give you at least an additional 0.5" drop.

Thanks for the reply.
So your over all drop was about a inch and a half??

That is what it would seem but it's not. I don't have a stock height to compare it to but the best thing I can tell you is it gets rid of the gap nicely. I can squeeze one finger in front and about 1.5 in the rear.

I agree with the second perch. I have the same set up and I recommend the second perch. The drop is perfect with bearly a gap o the tires. And yes you will have to have your cars alinement redone once you finish.

hey guys,

to confirm: you are on swift springs using koni's on the 2nd, correct? how is the ride quality? harsh? near stock? any rubbing??

thx

notamaster

There is no rubbing with stock wheels. The ride is a little stiffer but that depends on your setting on the koni shock.

What settings are you running on the Koni shocks?

notamaster

1/4 turn from full firm and on the second perch.

What wheel/tire size are you running?
Do you rub?
Rolled fenders?
