Swift springs...if you want real springs reply

:
MS3
I spoke with swift springs. If we get enough interest they will produce springs for the ms3. so this thread is to see who would be interested. I would appreciate keeping replies only from people that don't have springs yet or people that are not satisfied with their current aftermarket springs and want something better. If you don't know who swift please google it or check out their website http://swiftsprings.com/ . you will find that they are not your ordinary company. They don't make lowering springs! These are light weight (less coils) linear performance springs made to to improve performance and ride over looks. They do still give it a drop. It will depend during R&D to what degree as they produce springs to work with oem valving. They have "sport springs" and Spec-R". Spec-R being the more track oriented but still highly streetable. Both can be used with aftermarket/performance struts with better results. They also publish spring rates. Only other company i can think of on top my head that does that is Tanabe, but they use progressive springs.

i will update once I get more info back from them. For know this is interest only. I will fwd this thread and the one from gen2 section to them if this becomes big enough. Just as side note. Swift springs typically do cost more but not bad. Street/vendor prices are $280-$320

I'm interested. I currently have the Koni 4040's and original springs. I'd like to see a minimal drop in the front to work with these dampers as they raised the front end about a 1/4 inch after installation.
