Swift Springs Fitting - SoCal Only - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

SoCal FT86ers,

I've been waiting for the release of the Swift Springs for the BRZ/FR-S, but according to the Swift website, it's still TBD.

I called them and they're looking for a car to throw prototype springs on. I'd be there already if I still lived out there, so here's your chance to possibly get a free set of springs.

You can reach them at 909.923.9788.

Will do! Excited to post the developments on these!

Called them up and they were only looking for a BRZ. Congrats to Benjoke on getting there first.

Finished the prototype spring install today.

As expected, Swift Springs gives a subtle drop and doesn't compromise ride quality at all! Swift guys told me that they will conduct further study and ask for advancements for a new spring with a lower drop for a US market release. They will install another set (hopefully it will be the final product) in my car, estimated 2 months.

Very excited on the development of these! As ZmZMWagon mentioned, only good things come from Swift!

Oh man, that looks good... Do you know (are you allowed to say??) if they are working on one or two sets of springs? I'm hoping that what you have is their Sport Spring line, and that the lower drop is the Sport Spring Spec-R..... Being in Canada, i'm looking for MINIMAL drop.....just enough to close the gap about 0.5"-1.0"

Not much was said about next progression. I guess we all have to stay tuned for their next step on these. Guys from Swift are the best! I'm very pleased with their professionalism and passion for their products. As I mentioned, I'm really excited when they release the final line.

When they did the MS3 springs, they sent their results from U.S. testing back to Japan where another prototype was made and sent back over for more R&D......I suspect the same thing is happening here.

From there they decided which would be best Spec-R or Sport

^ this! I agree with you!

I'm just happy to help the BRZ community develop aftermarket products through R&D.
