We tested the shocks to be essentially identical. Eibach and another person here did as well. The FRS is a few pounds lighter, but all in all there is no functional reason to have different springs for the twins.

That said, we're big fans of Swift and do sell them often. Looking forward to see what specs they have.

Should be November. Yes, there will be two different applications, one for the BRZ and one for the FR-S. Springs are of slight different rates and profile(different dampers).

From what I have heard they are going through another round of revision before final product is released.

While Swift isn't usually all that swift in their release of products, I'm happy they take their time and do the research/testing necessary to provide a quality product. For me it's worth the wait.

I don't believe any technical details have been released yet. I'm very likely buying springs this winter, just don't know yet it it'll be RCE or Swift... Damn I really want the final production info...
