Swift Springs Are Out!!!

KINGMOTORSPORTS...

5.7.2008 Swift Sport Springs Now Available for 06+ Civic and Civic Si
Swift Sport Springs retain showroom ride quality and add a sporty feel and lower ride height for sport driving enthusiasts and style-minded drivers who demand only the best.
Swift developes every Sport Spring application based on each vehicle's unique characteristics - instead of a one size fits all design, these springs are made specifically for the 2-door and 4-door versions of both the Si and non Si Civics.



Swift Sport Spring Set. -1.2"F,-.8"R [SWIFT-4H913A]
Civic Si (2006-2008) 2-Door $ 280.00
Swift Sport Spring Set. -1.2"F-1.0"R [SWIFT-4H913B]
Civic Si (2006-2008) 4-Door $ 280.00
Swift Sport Spring Set. -1"F,-.6"R [SWIFT-4H913C]
Civic (2006-2008) 2-Door $ 280.00
Swift Sport Spring Set. -1"F,-.8"R [SWIFT-4H913D]
Civic (2006-2008) 4-Door $ 280.00

They are not on Swifts website yet but they are progressive springs and looking at the EP3 and DC5 spring rates its a modest lowering with a firm spring rate.. match these with some aftermarket dampers and it could be a great setup.. Tokico has there HTS adjustables comming out this summer!?

Not these springs but swift has linear springs that will mate to any coilover system. there springs are lighter and have the most consistant rate through compression.

I'm not the one with the Flex and swift springs, K20SDN (or something close to that) does. I never figured out how the rear was set up though since the Flex's come with an odd sized spring, not a standard 2.5 ID spring. If you do want to switch to swift for your Flex, get a higher rear rate for more rotation.

The EP3/DC5 suspension needs a lot stiffer springs than our suspension do so they should have lower rates but not lose ride quailty and handling in the process.

I've also heard that Swift springs are cheap (price wise) compared to other springs out there, but have a much higher quality.

There should be no choice. Swift owns all.
