Suspension Swift Springs finally coming out with lowering springs
SuspensionSprings, struts, coilovers, sway-bars, camber plates, and all other modifications to suspension components for Cooper (R50), Cabrio (R52), and Cooper S (R53) MINIs.
Isn't it the case that vehicle weight puts the car essentially on the bumpstops? Around 2.5 inches bump travel including the bumpstop at stock ride height?
I know right? It seems to me that they aren't trying very hard to let anyone know if they are even available yet. Just a word to the wise, these springs will ride STIFF too. I have never ridden along in a car equipped with their sport springs that that didn't ride as such, no matter what shock is equipped with them
Planning on pairing these with Bilstein SP's... Which also don't have many reviews...
At this rate, I might wind up saving up for a set of coilovers.
That setup would be fantastic! Those SP shocks from Bilstein are the way to go! It was a tough choice between them and Yellows, but got a good deal on the Yellows so that made up my mind for me!
I would say do it and then write up your own review. The car will handle sooooo much better with the setup you are planning here. I would call Vivid Racing and see whether or not the springs are available yet.
Bilsteins Sports with the Swifts and some camber plates would probably be a better all around set-up than many of the cheap coilovers out there IMO. If I hadn't bought springs a couple weeks before these were released I probably would have gotten them to go with my Koni Yellows. They're a little firmer and lower than I wanted though.
Anyway, there are ton of Swift vendors not on this site. They are popular with Subaru and Mitsubishi companies. Many people despise Vivid racing FYI though they probably have gotten their act together by now.
Sorry I really havent had the time to get around to posting anything up lately. Been pretty busy with life. Anyways I will be gathering all detailed information about these springs shortly. I will also be posting up pictures of the drop and a quick review. Sorry been out of it for a little bit. But I assure you guys that they have already moved into production with the springs.
I have worked with them on creating these springs and all the details needed to move forward with the production is already completed. I will find out from them when the ETA for them to arrive will be.
"The Spec R springs for the Mini! This is the final product guys, lots of R&D which took years to complete but its finally here. Already in the middle of production and will be here shortly. A little less than an inch drop, exact details will be posted on our website shortly."
