Default Group buy for Swift Springs

Just got off the phone with Swift and if I can put together a 10 piece order, I can buy them at $130 each. I will bill everyone shipping at cost. Anyone interested?

Can't say I've ever heard of Swift Springs, not to mention this sounds like a vendor talking here... especially once you read your only other post here.

i used to have swift before i got my JICs. awesome springs, not very stiff but for some reason improves your handling more than you can notice right away because although it doesnt do much for body roll, they are very stable and you can push them.

only downside is that the sport mach springs for the xB only lower the car 1", and im sure most drivers on here will not be satisfied with that for long since stock height is baja 4x4. 1" is not enough, and i thought i would be satisfied but i wasnt.

if you can get a group buy running for coilover springs and their helper/assist springs, im definitely in. cz their stuff is expensive. its worth it though, top notch quality. just watch their videos on their website

SWIFT is one of the most renowned spring/suspension tuners in the JGTC and in the JDM market. they are a company that pretty much focuses on racing applications, and so they have awesome R&D in them and very sensible engineering.
i was personally looking into these a while back ... good deal for anyone who wants a modest drop with a great tuner spring.

What drop do they give an xB? If it's only an inch you won't find many takers here. I like my inch drop tho. I'm on Tein H techs.

I read up on them on the Swift website, they are primarily for performance improvement rather than drop. They're designed to work with the stock shocks/struts to improve performance while not ruining the ride. They will bring the car down about an inch.

OK, cool. About the same drop as TRDs and H Techs. I'm sure others will find this info helpful.

i actually think they are more comparable to the TRDs rather than Htechs. the drop is estimated to be around 0.7". and yes, they are performance oriented (as expected from swift)
