Swift Springs - Struts Question

[sikkwititt]

Going with after market springs eventually the stock strut will wear out. When this does happen, my question is, are there after market struts we can buy to go with the swift springs? Or at that point would it just be better/cheaper to get coil overs?

I ain’t selling this car lol.

Just for reference, I had an FB6 prior that went straight to coilovers. Someone ran a red light and totaled it which is the only reason I bought this FL5.

Depends on what your goals are. If you think that the ride is fine, replace the shocks once they're worn out. If you want something more track oriented with more adjustability, then go with coilovers.

Yeah most people eventually just go coils at that point.

Gotcha. Thank you for the reply.

My logic initially is go springs now then when the wheels I want become available, then I will buy coilovers at that point.

That pretty much changed when I installed the swift springs as I am pretty satisfied with the current stance/ride and would like to keep it like this even when I get new wheels.

I guess I was hoping there were aftermarket struts that would work with the swift springs. But looks like I would just buy the oem shocks again as the best option as the car is just a daily driver with some spirited canyon driving here and there
