Swift R-Spec Springs r53 and r56

Hi NAM members,

We are an official distributor of Swift Products and we have decided to do a group buy on Swift Spec R springs for both R53 and R56. The prices are too low to list but they are already flying off the shelf, so get yours quickly.

These are the last sets left in the U.S.!! At this time we do not have a firm ETA on when the next shipment will arrive.
We have only 10 sets for the R53 and 4 sets for the R56 left!!


For those of you that have not heard of Swift Here is some Info:

Swift springs are superior to the other brands in every aspect. If you want the competitive edge, you need Swift, period. You see a chart outlining the fundamental differences and a list of the major side effects to the vehicle?s dynamics; “+” and “-” signify if the spring attribute affects the dynamics, “+” for positive effect or “-” for negative effect. Example “Number of coils” has +Fewer -More would mean the fewer number of coils benefits the listed dynamics and more would negatively affect the same dynamics.

Swift made a name for itself on the tracks of Asia and Europe by defying all accepted concepts and speculations about the future, if any, in coil spring science. When everyone else was looking to expensive and brittle titanium composites to create the next evolution of springs, Swift was looking at reinventing the entire science of coil spring dynamics. Swift saw that most others are using the old silicone chrome material which was soft and heavy. It used a tempering method that damaged the strength of the material requiring more coils and, in turn, more weight. The material was also suffering from a short life-span. With springs like this leading the industry, Swift saw room for improvement.

Swift's R&D team created material, called H5S.TW, which was stronger than silicon chrome. It was so resilient that it required 2 rounds of shot peening in order to hold its coil shape and was so strong that it needed thinner wire compared to other manufactures. It also needed fewer coils, which greatly decreased weight while dramatically increasing available stroke.

Swift Spec-R lowering springs are made for true track racing enthusiasts that wants to take their vehicle to the next level. Swift Spec-R Springs are engineered with 2 main characteristics.

1. To redesign lowering ride height to maximize the suspension performance, thus allowing the vehicle to fully absorb road feedback for maximum traction.
2. To increase the spring rate to further enhance entry & exit cornering speeds. The increase in spring rate is determined through the vehicle's OEM stock valving settings. Swift Spec-R Springs are increased to the optimal rate that the stock shocks can handle. Higher performance shocks are not required, but recommended for even more performance.

Spec R Springs are wound with the same engineering technology as our sports springs. With the exception of stiffer rates and a slight change in ride height; you can expect the same characteristics as our sports springs.



Specs:
R53
Front- lowers .7” Spring rate 5kg/mm
Rear- lowers .5” Spring rate 5.5kg/mm



R56
Front- lowers 1.1” Spring rate 4.5kg/mm
Rear- lowers 1” Spring rate 5.5kg/mm
