Let me start by saying, I cannot say enough good things about these springs.

I have had them on multiple cars that are well known for their handling (Evo X, 370z, 350z) and they never cease to amaze me.

The ride is better than stock, and the biggest factor to me is the nose dive when braking is literally 90% gone. Body roll is 50% or so better as well. Swift focused on providing a mild 1" or so drop with progressive rates, that way the actual handling was greatly improved and not compromised. Turn-in is very predictable, and there is a good amount less understeer.

I have not tracked them yet, but I am very confident they will perform outstanding once I get to the roadcourse. All my mustang brothers, if you care about your handling when you drop the car, I would highly recommend Swift springs . The springs were being tested at the superlap battle, so you know they are not just drop srpings, and actually improve handling. Swift has many awards from winning competitions with their springs, so its not just marketing.

Not knocking other spring companies by any means, but IMO this is the best spring honestly you can put on your mustang if you care about handling. Dont buy other springs for a drop only, lets make our 5.0's/ecoboosts/v6's handle with the best! :ford: :love:

I will add pics later of the gap between the fender wells, it went from about 4 finger gap in the front down to 2. The rear went from about 3 down to 1.5 finger gap or so.

Thank you, sir. It's staying warmer than usual in Texas this year, so maybe I can make it out to Motorsport Ranch before spring.

Wow, another company I haven't heard of. Back in the late 90's early 2000's I ran a spring not too many knew of and loved them on my Ffody's. They were Hyperco's. I'm definitely interested in knowing more about these springs you have. Thanks for the thread!

Look them up. They are one of, if not the best out there designed for people who don't want to buy aftermarket struts, although I'm sure they would compliment a pair fairly well.

They aren't big in the domestic world, but started with the s550 because now mustangs can actually handle well. For imports, they are very well known and have many accolades. They make coilover springs as well if you are looking for different spring rates. Honestly you cannot go wrong with these.

My plan is probably the FRPP track kit, but I'm curious about these springs. Where did you buy them? I didn't see a listing on their site.

You will have to email them directly since they are newly released.

I believe its listed on their "contact us" part of their page.

Linear are more track focused, so you're looking for a somewhat happy medium with a properly done progressive spring. I've had both and disliked my linear springs on a few different cars. JMO though.

I do believe linear is more track oriented however, this is great for the daily driver/weekend warrior. I only roadcourse a few times a year, so these fit me perfect.

I believe the rates are
Front - 5kg
Rear - 14kg

Just as an update, I will be going to texas track works (A somewhat local shop) to get my alignment done, and will report back with the numbers.

I ordered camber bolts from BMR just in case, but they are going to try and see what they can do first with the stock setup. Still loving these springs!!

Just saw an Ecoboost car on their FB page ran a sub 2:00 min lap at Buttonwillow with OEM shocks, street tires, and a couple of bolt ons. Googled Buttonwillow street car lap times and that's pretty stupid impressive. Obviously has the driver mod too.

An update the alignment is back into spec without any camber bolts or plates needed!

Trackpackgt - I know, these are hands down my favorite springs for a balance of comfort and handling. Like I said before, if you don't want to go full coils, it's perfect for the weekend warrior!
