    Suzuki Swift rear springs

    Hello there! i missed posting here so im here again. i created another thread for the springs so that it wouldnt be on a single thread regarding rear springs and would be easier to see or find.

    Anyways, i got the idea from thailand, as i confirmed from one of the users there she said the swift springs was stiffer. but im not sure yet coz im about to install mine. i bought the springs for 2k PHP around $42 USD.


    ill update this thread once i got the pictures. but please forgive me as im not that too technical in cars i just wanted to share whatever the results are

    Be sure to let us know what model years the springs are for.

    the swift springs are heavier than the oem.

    so for my first time using the springs, i almost felt that my rear is really better than the stock. first i noticed that when i sit at the driver side it feels like the cars nose was shorter due to the rear was lifted about an inch. Then i drove it and tried on several humps and noticed that the bouncy feel i had from the oem was gone, i didnt felt that onced i passed through some humps my rear doesnt go down low then up, its like it was on the same level after passing the humps.

    thats all i had tested so far will update next if ill experience any bottoming once my wifes friends need a ride home.
