Joon525 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Extended review coming sometime? Nope. Nothing's changed since the last time. Just get them already (especially if you like the stance so much). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxiboy Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 ^ compared to: stock - worlds apart KW at full soft - mine is more forgiving JDM Bilstein (not sure if GT or SpecB) & pinks - very similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Swifts on JDM Rev A Bilsteins (w/ 225/45/17 RE960) Pinks drop evenly, Swifts drop a bit more in the front for a more level look. But Pinks still do not look bad. For me it was price and look that made me choose Swifts. As for "feel" I've gotten comments from another member that has had both on his spec b and could not tell any real difference in ride comfort and/or performance. Heard the same from a few vendors. You may be able to tell in a track enviroment since the Swifts do have about a 10% higher spring rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i am settled on the swifts now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKoan Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 no extra spring seats on that at all ? i kinda like the drop on it and it does not look as low as the red legacy in the begining of the thread. I think i am settled on the swifts now. I think its the angle of the pics. Looking at the above pics, they look pretty close to how mine (the red one at the beginning of the thread) looked when you saw them head on.

vitarelli Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I am planning on ordering pinks for my spec b. I was told that a good combo would be the pinks for a MT wagon. I guess since the back usually sits a bit lower the longer spings for the wagon will give it a more even stance. Anyone agree/disagree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs6er Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Just joined this discussion. Picking up 07 Spec B this week. Someone mentioned that Bilsteins might affect their decision between Swifts and Pinks. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebpda9 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 i did find a great deal on ebay for the swifts from some guy that was selling his SWP LGT. We will see how it works out in the end. I like the stance of the swifts, but i am a bit worried about the snow. we will see when they arrive and i get them installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
