Is it better to get matching Swift Springs front and back, or is just getting Swift fronts enough, and moving the front Ohlins to the back? Anyone tried both?

 

I'm confused. Are you asking about different spring rates or just having both springs be Swift branded? If it's for spring rate advice, we need more info. Tire/wheel size? Full track car/street car? Stock weight? Stock power? Care about road manners?

I'm sure Swift makes a nice product but I don't think there's going to be anything wrong with the spring that ships on the Ohlins. Ohlins is known to make a great product and I'm sure their manufacturing tolerances are fine. If this is merely a branding question, I don't think there's anything wrong with running a Swift front spring and Ohlins rear.

 

I used to run a pair of swift 12k in front and then just moved the stock ohlins 10k to the rear. it was fine.

 

Yep. The thing to do is front to back, 12K up front.

 

It works fine with 12K Swift up front and the 10K Eibach that come with the Ohlins in back.

Swift just claims to make a much better spring than anyone else.

 

Can I mount the 12k-10k springs without having to retard the shock absorber?
