Last week I replied to the email Brian sent me.
I asked if there was any update. I also asked if I could just order a custom set of springs since they already know the dimensions and spring rates. Still no reply. The reason I would like to go with the spec r over eibachs or the other alternatives is because Swift does a great job at making there springs right on the limit of factory dampening while providing peak performance. Since my Civic gets tracked and autocrossed this would be the best solution. (Having experience with there s2000 spec r springs in race application)

"We have finished testing on the springs and are going to be put into production. They will be released Q1 of this year, just keep an eye out for when they are released.


Best regards,

Looks like we will finally have them soon.

according to swift's website, their spring rates will be higher than Eibach prokit. According to another thread on here Eibach is 157lb/in fr. & up to 183lb/in rear (progressive). Swift lists theirs as 3.8kg/mm fr 5.5kg/mm rear. you can use an online calculator to convert the units. 5.5k is about 300lb/in I believe.

Actually the swift springs are not Linear they are dual rate springs .;)
SPRING-TYPES-1.jpg


Linear springs of 6k and 7k would make it very bouncy .
Most of the oem springs are linear but are very mild spring rates.
I recently found out the 2016 Civic FK2 Type R uses dual rate Rear springs stock.
For me its mostly about the spring rates and the ratio between front and rear. Most of the aftermarket spring manufacturers are all around the same spring rate .
Spoon/Eibach/H&R/RS-R/Megan Racing Are all around 150-160 lbs/in front and 180-190lbs/in rear .
Swift is the only one that has very different rates 213lbs/in front and 308lbs/in rear and also the ratio between front and rear is very different.
Other factors are that most of them are Progressive spring rates and swift is dual rate .
Dual rate springs drive and act different then a progressive spring .

Although swifts spring rates are higher they also use there own material and are typically lighter.
That makes the "stiffer rates" feel softer.

The swift springs will be more focused on max performance of a factory damper.

The drop will most likely be around an inch.
