Nice to hear this. I do not have many miles on them maybe 10 but very noticeable difference from all other springs I have had on this car. I was going to get the Konis but I do not see a need for them now. The Ford Racing struts/shocks working great with these Swift springs.

I have a 2017 GT with performance package. What is the difference between Ford racing struts/shocks and the struts/shocks that come with the factory performance package? I love swift springs. They worked amazing on my 350Z. Would be nice to be able to through these on my performance package shocks!!

Not much of a difference. Love the Swift springs also. I put them on car again.

There's two Ford racing packages. One is called Street Handling, the other is Track Handling. The Street Handling pack has identical shocks/struts to the PP, other than being painted blue. The Track Handling pack does have more control and overall better dampers than the PP. You can buy the Track Handling pack dampers separately from the rest of the handling pack for ~$550.

I bought exactly this and I found it just was not worth the $$. Took em off and sold them to a member here.

I thought you were running the vogtland?

Front of the car looks pretty low - about a 1.5" drop if I were to guess, from the factory PP front ride height.

You're not finding the front to be underdamped? I find the stock PP setup to be underdamped in rebound so I can't see a stiffer spring, with the PP struts, really giving you proper control for aggressive driving.

Thoughts?

This is kinda what I was thinking? I guess I need to save my pennies for those koni's.

The Doctor already has Koni Sports.

Wait^^, in the first post he says Ford Racing dampers (assuming the non-track version, which means he's running the PP dampers).

Doc - can you confirm?

In that pic car had Ford Racing dampers. Which combined with the Swifts were actually one of the best combos I have had on this car. Remember I do have a Roush blower on top of the engine. More weight.

In those pics in this thread I had the Ford Racing. You can see the blue shocks. It was this week the Koni's arrived and the next weekend I was on Koni's with the Swifts.
