Anyone running the swift spring on ohlins?

[gonoyaro11]

Hi, everyone

I have the ohlins coilover on e92 m3 and considering buy swift spring on ohlins sus.

I can choose spring rates 400F/800R or 450F/800R.

Are they really big difference 400 and 450 as a daily driver?

Please give me some advice

Thank you!

I don't have ohlins but I run swift springs on the front my TCK coilovers on my E36 M3. I had to increase the fronts 50lbs in order to use swift springs. So far I am very happy.

This is all subjective. A person who tracks his car a lot will notice a significant difference of 50lbs vs. someone who occasionally tracks his car. I went from 400 to 550 and noticed a HUGE difference.

In terms of choose spring rates, you should start out on the softer side for a strictly street driven car. I would suggest 400/600. The great thing about Swifts is they are relatively expensive so you can play with spring rates without punching a huge whole in your wallet.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thank you for your advice but 400/600 seems away difference from ohlins setup. The ohlin's original spring rates are 342F and 684R from Ohlins.

Yes, I totally thought I was in e90post. Switching between forums gets me confused sometimes, haha. But you shouldn't notice a BIG difference between 400 and 450. The R&T for the M3s seem to already have a great setup from the box.
