Regarding testing 4 separate parts, that is easy to do. Unfortunately, Swift test every single individual spring after it comes off production to make sure the rate is 100% accurate (that is why they have an expensive Roehrig spring tester); if it does not meet the specified rate, the spring is simply scrapped. Therefore, it is nearly impossible to find a Swift spring that is not at it's advertised rate when new.


However, testing them after being used for a few months, that is something that we can and will do. Whether this thread is updated with the data or not though, that is up to the community to decide.


I am not doing this to advertise any particular brand or company (contrary to my username), so if people deem this as "advertising in disguise", then I won't continue.

I am joking. I have no doubt the swift springs are superior. My opinion on buying is that you may not want to buy the most expensive one out there, but you do not want the cheapest!
