fs - location: MA/SNH: Swift Springs

[Aphex28]

Located in Dracut, MA.

 

Selling the Swift Springs that were on my 2010 LGT when i bought it last Fall. They were too low and soft for my liking so I got a set of H&R springs that match better to what i want. Albeit still soft, but at least not rubbing on speed bumps if i didn't angle.

 

asking $175 shipped

 

I'm a new member here, but I'm an OG NASIOC(imprezars.com) member with a lot of feedback.

 

Quick stats: Spring rates are 3.4K front, 4K rear.

Lowers car -1.3 in front,-1.1 rear.

Not sure on the mileage but my car has 75k. They look like they are in the 20-40k range.

Hey,

 

Yeah I'm already in the 5th gen fb group. I've grown out of going to meets now a days, been going to them for the past 20 years or so heh. Aside from WBM(I'm one of the original organizers) I don't have much interest

Off Topic, but that's a great looking car.

Thanks. Lol tell my wife that! But really that's what made me buy it. Prefect for hauling my 2 year old in while not attracting attention, but still fun, without any real rust. Sucks that it burnt a valve a month after buying it, but i learned everything about the special-ness about this setup versus traditional ej cars.

 

Besides, i feel like i saved one more rare 6mt lgt from going to the scrap graveyard. These cars are a dead breed. It's pretty impossible to find a quick, fun, 4 door car that can fit a baby seat comfortably in the back that comes with 3 pedals. I had a 15 wrx that i sold because i had to my seat almost all the way forward to fit a rear facing seat behind me. No bueno

We went to the auto show over the weekend and that is true. Cars now seem bigger on the outside and smaller on the inside. Kinda like being in a coffin.

[Aphex28]

the biggest thing is the lack of Manual Transmission options.

MT's only come in 2 door cars or cars that really aren't practical.

You can still get the Jetta GLI with a 6 speed, and the Mk8 is pretty nice.

 

Back on topic, is that your car with the Swift springs or the H&R?

[Aphex28]

Pic is with the swift.

 

I had a 2017 GLI for a year

but i got it with the wrong transmission. But either way, it was still too small for the seat my wife had to sit in the back seat when we'd take my car since the baby seat wouldn't fit behind me (and im only 5"3')
