very comparable to lots of the other springs others have fitted ride height wise. Must be stiffer, they're factory leagth. Cool. Good job!!

yep, i really like how it feels now, its really better than the oem, i tried several times going to different locations here and mostly whenever i go pass a hump or a uneven road its just feels right with this springs. i just havent tried loading 2 to 3 person at the back but i also noticed that when someone goes in at the back to sit i didnt felt that my rear was lowered unlike before.

Are you switching out the front springs as well?
I'm thinking raising the rear 3/4" may affect front alignment?
Will weld for beer.

nope as i dont know what to use for the front that has been tested already. i swapped the rears because it was already tested by others and it solved my rear problem. for the front i dont see that i have too not unless someone tells me to have my front checked for alignment since im no mechanic and doesnt know much about adjustments but still learning from other members hehe
anyways, now that you mentioned it, do i have to have my car checked for the front alignment?

so far so good for this springs... still stiffer and tried 3 adults no bottoming out.
anyways, is there anyone here already changed their front springs?

Hey mitsumi, could you give an update on your Suzuki Swift rear springs? I don't recall if you mentioned any size differences from stock OEM springs to the Swift springs - length, diameter, diameter of the ends (where the springs mount and contact the body and axle.)

Hey Mitsumi, I was looking for something able to compensate the additional 20 kgs LPG tank I'm carrying in the spare wheel vane (now happily running 2 years on LPG). I've found this old post just wanted to say THANK YOU, I've got a couple of used Suzuki Swift IV 1.3 DDIS rear springs on eBay that are working perfectly! Now rear is way more solid, rear height is perfect and bouncing is gone!
Kind of impressed that you're running on LPG...
