Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get a set of swift springs to replace the BC Springs at all? I want to do the front and back. Also Should i stick with the same rate for mainly street driving and occasional track work? Finally what is the length and inside diameter of the spring on the BC Coilover spring so as to know what swift springs I need to get. Thanks for your help in advance Let me know.

Swift and cheap really don't go together, however, a good source in the US is Evasive Motorsports. That's who I got mine from and they were nice to work with. TSW I think also carries them if you want a MINI-specific / NAM vendor.

You'll want 152mm long front and 178mm long rear, both 65mm [the gold ones]. A good starting point for a standard weight R53 is 8kg/mm front and 6kg/mm rear. I run 7kg/mm front and 5kg/mm rear on my lightened [2295lbs] R53 and those rates work excellent for both open and tight tracks.

Cheers,
Ryan

 

We have these on our Cross coils

Front is Z65-152-100 10kg

Rear is Z65-178-080 8kg

These were from the recommendation of Ninjlao and are working very well

 

I get my race springs from here:

Yup - we can get any size ya need!

The only 'cheap' Swift springs you'll find are knockoffs or used sets...
