swift springs

[Marc_Seegs]

The Eibach instructions says to remove 20mm from the bottom front/rear bump stops. I assume swift springs should be similar or little more with a 1 inch drop.

yep, the paperwork that came with the Swifts do not instruct you to do this. I did not cut anything and have been driving on them for about 1,000 miles now with no issues, no weird sounds and no strange bounciness at all.

Is there a diff in left and right springs in front ? I am just cerious my springs didnt have any markings at all and its driving me crazy i keep hearking a clunking noice only when i hit certin bumps evey this is tourqe to speck i cut the bump stops to the second mark i just am lost my only other thing would be geting them switched if any one has instructions on these springs plelease let me know mine came with a disclamer and thats was all ..

left and right springs should be different because they are usually "coiled" opposite to each other. one coils to the left, while the other coils to the right.

so it would be pretty hard to mess up the left and right because i had the springs side buy side when i took oem off and put exactly on the same way i took off with the swifts

I'd think so because the way the shock perch and the upper mounts are might make it hard to put it on the other way around.

you can see on the top part of the spring that its coiled differently.

so the conclusion is, you need to cut the bump stop? i had bouncy car as well! i didn't cut the bump stop because it doesn't came with sort of instructions at all.

I actually emailed swift and this is what they said.

“You do not need to cut the bumpstops for these springs. All testing was done with the these springs were with the oem bumpstops. That being said modifying the bumpstops can be used as a tuning tool to set your suspension to your subjective needs.

Thank you for choosing Swift Springs.”

before you cut the bumpstop, is it bouncy only on comfort mode? or all 3 mode?

Bringing back this super old post because I forgot to cut the bump stops on my car when installing springs ??‍ But did you have to cut the dust cover or were you able to pull them up to where the bump stops are?

idk i still think these springs are bouncy as f*ck. I installed them with only 800mi on the car so don't even remember how the stock suspension felt really. bumpstops were cut
