F50 Lowering Springs (Swift)?

[ddrumman]

As you guys know I'm not an F50 guy, so I'm not sure whether these are any good or not:



I was just looking thru ebay and stumbled into them. It'd sure get rid of that dreaded front wheel gap. Front 1" rear 0.4"

It'd sure get rid of that dreaded front wheel gap.

Can't tell you how much that as designed extra suspension travel bothers me while I am driving, especially when the road isn't perfect and the suspension has to work!

I had the swifts mounted front and rear.Had to remove the rears because of the bottoming out.Even with just me in the car.The fronts seam to be ok.

I can appreciate that, and have you noticed how aesthetics are part of the package? That gap should be, and is amongst high end performance vehicles buyers, unacceptable. It drives nice though and is a safe vehicle



As far as this set up, I don’t know about its quality. I’m just thinking that if it DID meet OEM spec that it would correct that ugly gap.

I had those springs for 6 months. The ride is real smooth and the comfort is very close to stock. The only time I felt a difference was on corners. With these springs, you can hit corners alittle quicker. Another plus is that these springs are much lighter then the stock springs

hey widebodyq,got any better pics?

Have any of the F50 guys in here besides "marksport" tried the tanabe springs? You guys are saying that the rear would bottom out with these swifts. How about the tanabes?

I cant see lowering a 02-06Q,as the rear already looks like it is sagging in stock condition.

[ddrumman]

You're right. The front looks a lot nicer like this though

Maybe, the idea is to make a set that does NOT lower the rear at all.
