Should be shipping very soon :) This is the busy season and like you saw in the vid, a lot goes into every individual coilover. Definitely worth the wait though!

What are the offerings/options for our cars. Do you have any group buys or promo pricing?

Nice video.

Do a search on actual reviews of their coilovers before you buy. I have a friend with STi with 510's and they are bouncy. Actually gets unbearable on the highway speeds. He ended up switching to stock shocks with swift springs and it rode better.

Look at the dyno. Even at full stiff you're about where stock shocks are at, but with double the spring rate.

I've seen the FA advertised dynos many times b4 ..but never seen the stock and also a comparison with each other. Interesting. The stock's digressive curves don't look half bad.

If I don't want custom spring rates how long do you think these take I receive?

3 weeks or so. Custom spring rates or not, they're built to order.

chiefshayan 05-17-2014 06:12 PM

I knew these were built to order, but 3 weeks isn't bad at all! Maybe I'm just used to seeing FT86SF headers orders taking months.

Any suggestions on spring rates? I'm leaning towards 6k in the fronts and 7k in the rears (standard).

Edit: Also anyone see the new camber plates? http://www.fortune-auto.com/subarurearcamberplate.htm

civicdrivr 05-21-2014 03:26 AM

I've had the 500s on my car w/o Swift springs for about 40k miles now and love them. They're no bouncier than stock.
