Swift Springs Spec R for the F56

Hey guys just making a quick thread here!

We are aiding Swift Springs in coming out with a Spec R lowering spring kit for the F56 (Must be the S Model).

Please let me know if anyone might be interested, and if anyone is willing to test out a prototype set in the SoCal area go ahead and PM us.

Thank you very much!

For more info about what Swift Springs is going for, please go to our last Swift Spring Spec R for R53 & R56 Thread

I would probably get rid of my Eibach springs for a set of Swift Springs. Unfortunately I'm all the way across the country in NY so can't help with testing them out.

I would have preferred Swift springs if they had been available when I did my suspension mods. As it happened NM had the best that I found and I went with them. I might consider them again when I change shocks, but I'll probably just go with coil overs by then. Couple years late to the party for me. I'm also a little too far to commute to SoCal. I left there in '84 and have no plans to return. If they were to send me a set of springs for evaluation I might even pay for installation so I could evaluate them and make a comparison to the NM springs.

I was indirectly involved in testing Swifts,for another make car, I eventually bought a set, when released to retail.

It will take at least 3 rounds before they are worthy. So if you have the patience, go for it.

Thanks for your input everyone. You guys are right, Swift had these in the back burner for a while. If we're able to get a tester locally, it would be another option for the F56.

Will keep that in mind Vetsvette, thanks for reaching out!
