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.

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.

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 :(
