No, because this post wasn't meant for advertising



2) Yes, you are correct; You are being a troll

1) I didn't lie, and there was nothing to call me out on. I told everyone in one of my posts (which you probably never read. Trolls will always pick and choose what to read) that these tests were done when a customer came in to upgrade his springs and requested us to do it for him. I have every right to post that up on our Facebook page, as I do on other forums where the information is genuinely appreciated by the community



2) Yes, I did do the test. That is our Intercomp spring rate tester. The only test I didn't do was the dyno test, which was provided to us by Swift, as we don't have a spring dyno.



Listen, I owe you jack $%^&, and the other poster was correct; I don't need to explain myself to trolls like you. There is no changing your mind, as you simply don't want it to be changed. You just want to troll.


Well, you succeeded. I will no longer reply or even bother with this thread. I was planning on uploading more results (from other brands) later this week, but seeing as the links to our other threads are posted up, you can just check them out instead.
You just lost the game.

YCW just pmd me and said his testing uncovered information that will lead to the arrest and indictment of Hillary Clinton. I hope we hear back from him soon.

Why no one have let me know bout this fun thread til now? Anyways here’s my thoughts.

YCW sells Swift springs... at the same time, in this thread he haven’t advertise or cross referenced his site for sale... BUT at the same time, this thread is exact same posts as other “vendor” threads as one member referenced. I also believe in 2nd chance. I would love to see other brand spring test been done to make this bias thread more even. That include some outside brands to make more informational thread... or be like other vendors, pay monthly forum sponsorship without worry bout getting mean or so call “troll” comments.

It’s up to you to decide, making this thread better by updating w other info, but instead just fight/argue with members, I’ll quickly cut off this thread along with the account... which I hope I don’t have to do, cuz I prefer to learn something good from vendors than bad.

As for reg members, keep calm & keep eating popcorn til update happens.

It was a bit long, but that’s my 2yen.

I also would love to see a comparison between Swift, Hyperco and Eibach Race Springs. I have ERS now, but would consider changing to Swift if a convincing case could be made for doing so.

Eibach, stock kW springs, and hyperco coils I be curious to see. QA1, afco etc are some lower buck/commonly available choices.
