Default SWIFT lowering springs

it seems no one has them? i havent found much info at all, which is suprising with the amount of info on this forum about springs.

the own the evo/sti field with their high quality/nice riding stuff, but it seems i cant find info about the TC with them

the drop is listed at 1.25 front, 1.4 rear.

any input by anyone?

they are a very high quality spring, made with a different material with a greater tensile strength so they can use less of it and make a lighter spring. my other car is an s2000, and they are highly recommended in the s2000 crew.

i have personally been looking into the swift springs for a while cuz of their reputation and R&D. Swift makes practically all the springs for the JGTC, and they have a non-linear progression rate, so as the spring compresses, there is no increase in spring load, which keeps your cornering stable and predictable.
overall, i think i would most likely get them over any other spring available, at least for my box. probably if i had tC as well.

my classmate works for a company that deals with suspension for subarus and saabs, and he speaks highly of Swift Springs. he said that they are one of the superiors company's out there as far as suspension products goes.

i was looking into getting for a set for my car. post some pics if you have them installed.

it appears, from the way they have the data sheet set up, that these are variable rate....nice if this is true
