Do Swift springs make your car lower?
Designed around the useable stroke of the suspension, allowing you to lower the vehicle without decreasing the life of factory dampers. Designed to replace rubber bump stops, Swift bump springs are engineered to utilize a higher amount of shock stroke travel via a consistent linear rate.
Do Swift springs sag?
They almost immediately sag. And the rates are all over the place. A little off topic with this, most springs don’t keep their original spec forever; from my experience aftermarket lowering springs designed for standard struts are short lived and prone to binding (H-Sport for example).
Do Swift springs settle?
Or usually springs should settle in a week or less… well the rears sit lower than the fronts (or so it seems because of the fenders) even on oem springs, so it’s normal. people just tend to notice it more after they put on aftermarket springs because the fender gets so much closer to the tire.
Where are swift springs made?
Founded in Tokyo, Japan in 1997, Swift Springs was originally a motor sports division of Tokyo Hatsujo Manufacturing Co, Ltd, leaders in the spring industry since 1924.
Are Swift springs stiffer?
Swift coilover springs feel softer because they ARE softer than other manufacturers at the same “rated” stiffness.
What are swift springs Fortune Auto?
All Fortune Auto coilover Swift Spring upgrades are manufactured using (H5S.TW.) which is far superior to silicone chrome steel and allows us to wind our springs with less coils, resulting in reduced un-sprung weight and increased stroke.
Do you need alignment after replacing springs?
Yes, you will need an alignment after replacing springs – especially lowering springs. This is because to replace car springs, you need to first remove the shocks from the suspension system. And while doing so, you will work with many other suspension components like caster / camber plate that can cause misalignment.
Do you need new struts with lowering springs?
It is generally recommended that you change the shocks/struts when you use lowering springs. Lowering springs are shorter than stock springs so the shocks and struts wind up in a new normal position that is more like the middle of their travel when used with stock springs.
What are swift springs made of?
The material produced by Swift Springs is a proprietary steel alloy. It is created in order to maintain the most consistent spring rate throughout the stroke, allow the largest amount of stroke, provide high durability against loss of spring height, and keep the weight down.
Who owns Feal suspension?

Are Fortune Auto coilovers good?
Ride Quality: Very good. These coilovers are more than tollerable on the street, even at low ride height. I have only reached the bump stops once during a severe bump. The damper adjustments are actually very pronounced and have a significant impact on ride quality.
Is it better to get coilovers or lowering springs?
Coilovers are a great alternative to a lowering spring set up because they allow you to adjust your ride height and come in many setups from daily use to full track use rated. Unlike springs, you are not stuck to one height and stiffness. With a good set of coilovers you do not have to sacrifice ride quality to go low.
