How good are swift springs?
Feel the difference – Swift Spring Benefits to Racers Swift Springs uses a very strong alloy which means they use a thinner diameter of wire. Swift Springs are incredibly consistent. At the end of a year of racing, they are typically within . 5-1.0% of the rate they were when they came out of the box.
Are Swift springs progressive or linear?
Designed to replace rubber bump stops, Swift bump springs are engineered to utilize a higher amount of shock stroke travel via a consistent linear rate.
Should I lower S2000?
Lowering springs are a great way to give your car the slammed look you’ve been after, without breaking the bank. The drop in ride height will also improve your S2000’s handling because of the lower center of gravity.
Who makes Swiftsprings?
Tohatsu
Our parent company, Tohatsu, has been winding industrial springs since 1924. Tohatsu then decided to get in to the auto racing market in 1996.
Do Swift springs sag?
They almost immediately sag. And the rates are all over the place. A little off topic with this, most springs don’t keep their original spec forever; from my experience aftermarket lowering springs designed for standard struts are short lived and prone to binding (H-Sport for example).
What are swift springs Fortune Auto?
All Fortune Auto coilover Swift Spring upgrades are manufactured using (H5S.TW.) which is far superior to silicone chrome steel and allows us to wind our springs with less coils, resulting in reduced un-sprung weight and increased stroke.
What are swift springs made of?
The material produced by Swift Springs is a proprietary steel alloy. It is created in order to maintain the most consistent spring rate throughout the stroke, allow the largest amount of stroke, provide high durability against loss of spring height, and keep the weight down.
Are Fortune Auto coilovers good?
Ride Quality: Very good. These coilovers are more than tollerable on the street, even at low ride height. I have only reached the bump stops once during a severe bump. The damper adjustments are actually very pronounced and have a significant impact on ride quality.
How low do Fortune Auto coilovers go?
The Super Low Spec 500 Series coilovers are designed to dramatically lower vehicle ride height. Average height adjustability is roughly 2.5″ to 5″ lower than OEM ride height (depending on application). Research on the racetrack has helped us develop the Fortune Auto 500 Series into a great all-around shock absorber.
What is 8K spring rate?
8 kg/mm
When someone says â8Kâ they are shortening the metric measurement of the spring rate; in this case 8 kg/mm. What this means is that if you apply 8 kilograms of weight to the top of the spring it will compress 1mm. If you apply another 8 kilograms (16kg total) of weight it will compress another 1mm.
