Going from eibach springs to swift

deseroner · 05-26-2017, 11:30 AM

I was wondering is it worth going from eibach springs to swift springs. I want to close in the wheel gap in front .

probably will get a bit of differing opinions here. having seen my cousins e90 on eibachs there isn't much of a difference than my swifts. if you were going with B&G springs that would be moticeable

You will also lose more suspension travel if on stock struts. You have only about 2 inches to start with.

Swifts are stiff in my opinion, I wouldn't change them

The Swifts will be slightly lower than the Eibachs - maybe .25". They will also be firmer. If you are refreshing your suspension - struts/shocks/bumpstops/strut mounts/etc - then I would go ahead and get the Swifts. I would not pay to just do the springs.

I have edc and I was thinking about going kw has kit instead . I want to keep my edc . I do want it lower . Ride is smooth just not low enough , hate the gap.

You're probably better off changing to the bilstein b6 edc struts and the swift springs

The has kit doesn't ride too well

I would steer away from konis.
