Koni Yellow & Swift Springs

[FiSTerTheGrouch]

Just curious who all is running this set up and what they set the dampers to for street use.

I've heard that if you set these to about a couple notches from the softest position, they'll be around the Koni Str.T setting. You could tweak it from there to fit your preference.

I finally installed mine today, and I'm very pleased so far. Stance is better, body roll is negligible, and ride seems to be about the same; the lower center of gravity is noticeable. I have them ~1/2 turn from full firm front and back because I run several HPDE events each year. If you're only driving on the street, I imagine the ride would be better if you dialed them softer.

Post some pics?! I just recently moved to Oakland and considering this setup as well.

The car is filthy today I'll take some pictures as soon as I wash it (which will be hard to fit in between A's baseball and college football)

I've had mine on for close to a month now. Such a great combo. I kept them at 1/4 from full stiff and is just about perfect for these smooth Florida roads.

debating on what to pair with Swift spring right now, what make you guys go with Koni Yellow over Bilstein B8? beside the availability part lol.

For me I want the adjustability Koni offers.

If you want something straight forward and don’t want to change rebound than B8s all the way.

The availability made it a no-brainer, but I have prior experience with Konis and zero with Bilsteins so I was biased towards the Konis anyway. I also like that Koni supports TrackNightInAmerica and other HPDE events. No complaints so far; very happy with this setup.

thanks for the input.

Any Swift owner went from Swift+stock sturt/shocks and then to upgrade Koni yellow (or other aftermarket) wondering should i bother using my stock, as the swift is suppose to be engineer to use with stock shocks

I've been wanting a set of B8s for so long but they're on back order since last winter
