I'm thinking about getting this as well as the TEAS. My car currently has only Swift Linear springs with about 7k miles on them. When I swap in the coilovers should I use the Swift springs or the Tanabe springs?

What benefit would I have with the Swift, I know they are much higher quality then most other springs and that Zeal even uses them on their coilovers, should I be doing the same?

Street application mainly.

 

Keep the Tanabe's.

 

Why?

 

? if you swap in coilovers you would be replacing your existing springs...

 

Zeal uses swift, Ohlins coming out of Japan use Eibach. http://www.carrozzeriajapan.co.jp/oh...ing_banner.jpg

Without getting into weather or not Swifts claims about what makes their springs better then other companies products is or isn't legit, two things come to mind. And I'm assuming your not talking about running the swift lowering springs you have now, but Swift coilover replacement springs.

1. Less weight
2. Kicking Tababe's progressive springs in the rear* to the curb.

*IIRC, in the rear Tanabe uses a 5" outside diameter spring on their coilovers, not a 2.5"ID spring. Swift doesn't offer a 5" OD spring that I'm aware of. Eibach does, it's called ESS.

 

thanks for the info

 

Your welcome, IMO the whole value of replacing the Tanabe springs is totally your judgement call, kind of thing only you can place a value on. I won't run a progressive spring on any car of mine what has sporting intent, that's my stand in that area.

 

get the pro 7s. love my tanabes handles nice and smooth. very high quality if u have questions give Reggie a call at tanabe usa
