Evo Swift Springs - anyone running them and where to buy?
Had a look in the forum but couldn't find any posts, so as per topic.
I had a set of swift sport springs before this but decided to sell them as they don't lower the car that much , about 1" all around which is really good for daily drive but i think that i can go lower
Probably get them from US vendors as AUD is killing it at the moment.
There are two types of swift springs , one is the softer version which has a progressive spring rate called Swift Sport Mach Springs , that's the one that lowers the car 1" all around. Build quality and ride comfort is spot on but it tends to be a little too soft (This is all based on views from US forums) which i think is valid cause the soft spring rate is lower than stocks.
The other type would be the Swift Spec-R Spring , i has a much stiffer spring rate and has a bigger drop of about 1.25-1.5" all around. It's design for a more track oriented car but many have used it and find it bearable for daily.
If your looking for a set , i'd recommend the Spec-R. If not , have a look at TMR's spring and GTWORX's spring , a US based company that specialize in suspension , it's a fairly new spring but many have used it and loved it

Get coilovers dude, sooo much better
Ralliart/Evo parts Versus 20s and BBS rims for sale! see: http://clubcj.net/viewtopic.php?t=7346
I did read a few threads on evolutionm discussing the GTWORX and Swift Spec Rs. My biggest problem right now is I'm still awaiting the arrival of the car and can't really make a comparison on how hard/soft I want the car to ride. My current car is riding on coilovers and tbh I'm ready to move back to springs for a small drop and more comfortable ride. That said I think the Swift sports will be too soft for me - if I remember back to the test drives I had, the stock suspension could do with a bit of stiffening.
Do you have any particular US vendors in mind who ship relatively cheaply and hasslefree for either the Swifts or GTWORX?

Coilovers doesn't necessarily need to mean teeth chattering hard ride anymore. More and more brands are setting them up to be more suitable for our conditions.
In saying that, if you are just wanting to drop the car a little and are happy to put a set of springs in and utilise the existing Bilstein shocks that will give you a great result. Fair bit cheaper than coilovers too.
I have driven a modded X (Can't remember what coilovers) and my own CJ with the Pedders / BCs and both were very compliant and comfortable.

hmmm yeah , they should be like that cause the SST oil cooler is behind the left fog so MR has an open one to allow air in.
I'll be looking at doing a fog light delete , gives alot more cooling to the brakes and oil coolers. I think i've never used my fogs light since day one lol
