Ok as some of you know I was one of the early ones that jumped on the Scales coil overs...only to be deeply disappointed with them. Extremely bouncy ride no matter how they were adjusted. After ordering a set of the Silvers...had them for several months, I finally installed them. Ride was better than the Scales at the same drop but the ride still wasn't as I wanted it to be. Talking with them and sharing my ideas on what I think the spring rates NEED to be up front... they came thru! They sent me a set of the Swift springs in 265mm and 9k.
All I can say is wow! I thought I was going to have to go back to lowering springs and deal with all that wheel well gap. I'm extremely happy with the ride. Very sporty, no damn bouncy ride...sports car stiff...and this is with the compression/rebound in the middle. In love all over again. Here is the pic I just took after a 50 mile trip. Imho... perfect! I'll lower the rear a tad more once we have adjustable control arms or other solution. Dsmn thong rides as sporty as my Focus RS but no pogo effect at all. Fwiw...I very sensitive to shitty ride quality... what I had with the Scales was very shitty. It was not a daily set up...wrong for the track too. Before it literally felt like an 80s low rider with hacked up oem coil springs. Now I can get excited again about installing all this stuff that's been piling up......including my new BC Forged 2 piece staggered wheels!
