super.duper.BL6 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Locals get first dibs! Wanted to see if anyone here is interested in these before I post them up on the classifieds forum. Purchased from Mann Engineering about a month or two back. I've only put 3000 miles on them, and now have switched to coilovers. The ride was too soft for me (previous car was running Tein HA's 12k/8k). Great improvement over the stock setup nonetheless. Asking $220 picked up for barely used practically brand new Swift sedan springs. I'm located in the south san jose area, and work in the santa clara area.

leggtnut Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 tempting if they don't drop the car. Ben (2014 Outback SAP w/ eyesite, 2014 Tribeca Limited, 2006 LGT limited sedan) Subaru Ambassador PNW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super.duper.BL6 Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 They do drop the car. I don't remember the drop specs off hand, but they are listed in Mann's classified postings (somewhere around 1.4f/1.0r i think). I had about a 2 finger gap on all four corners after the springs settled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldouse Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 hey leggtnut. go for it. i'd do it... but already shelled out the cash for my h-techs. imo i should've bought the swifts when i could.... but back then.. mannengineering was quoting me too much for the springs... now that the prices has gone down drastically... they're worth it. best part is... the ride feels oh-so-good w/ them. there's a noticeable drop... but in a good way. well in any case.. bump for a great set of springs. -- yay for the sig! -- my garage!

leggtnut Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Since there is a drop, I can't. My driveway won't allow it. It is almost too low as it is.

super.duper.BL6 Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Taken from Mann's posting, the drop is: F:-32mm(-1.25"), R:-25mm(-1") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr. linguini Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 which coilovers did you get? I have the swifts too and was thinking about going with coilovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super.duper.BL6 Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 I went with the Megan racing coilovers, purchased from one of our board vendors Boostjunkie. I haven't fully dialed them in yet, but its a vast improvement over the previous setup I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super.duper.BL6 Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 I didn't really want to deal with shipping & paypal but it should be no problem. How about if no one locally wants these springs by this weekend, then i'll PM you on Sunday night and we'll negotiate total cost including shipping/paypal fees?

Spec B 127 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Will those springs work on a Spec B as well? I am so sick of the stocks springs. Way too mushy for me. I got spoiled with the setup I had on my '01 Celica GTS (TRD struts/springs) which was perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super.duper.BL6 Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Yes, they will work for a spec b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zildjiank Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 These are great springs, I have em on my LGT... And I would constitute the drop as being not that short of slammed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
