Swift SPEC R Lowering Springs



Just in case anyone wanted to know the height of SWIFT SPEC R lowing springs....here it is. This is just about 24 hours after being mounted. Wheel size 17x9 with Falken 255s. The front wheels/tires only clear by like 2mm's with no spacers.

Thanks! Yeah, I was worried it wouldn't be low enough but I think it comes in at just low enough for me.

Looks really good. Another person with hypergrams just did RCE yellows with 17x8 and 225-45-17s

What was the total drop.

This is from the FT86 website:

- Spring Rate: 4.4K (F) / 5.3K (R)
- Height Drop: 1.1 inches (F) / 1 inches (R)

I'll break out my tape measure and measure tomorrow and report back.

Switft SPEC R Drop Measured in Centimeters

Okay here is the measurement as promised. Sorry it's in metric (it's a better system anyways...lol) as that's the only tape measure i could find.


Fronts after 6 days.



Rears after 6 days.

So far I haven't scrapped on anything and I am liking the feel of the suspension. I do say that if you matched them up with better aftermarket shocks, I am pretty sure you'd be a lot happier. That said, with the basically brand new 2017 Toyota OEM (Sachs) shocks...the ride is nice. I do think i'll add some sway bars to the equation though. Also I might upgrade the shocks in a year or so if i don't go back to coilovers. After I put on sway bars I'll chime in with my thoughts.
