Swift Springs for 2011

I'm hoping someone with a 2011 (or anybody that knows) could help me out. I'm considering Swift springs and Bilstein B6's but I'm not sure which set of springs to go with. According to Fig's website PN 4T906 is for 2008-2010's and PN 4T910 is for 2012+. 2011 is suspiciously missing. Anyone have any idea why?

The 11s do have a slightly revised suspension. That’s when they started the suspension overhaul, they finished it in 12. I do not know the difference, but I THOUGHT it was all interchangeable. Hopefully someone else can confirm.

And somehow this information is classified and you can't tell the rest of us?

i had swift spring with Bilstein B6 on my 2011 and found them very stiff actually too stiff for my taste and after 3 weeks had them removed and went back to OEM springs with B6 Blistein and found that to be a great combination. Im now Coilovers as well.

Mine are available for the same reason. Roads are rough around here and I didn’t want beat up anymore. I’ll stay OEM until I’m ready for high end coils.

Thanks all. This is a lot of quality information. I think you've convinced me to wait and go for a good set of coilovers. I'm not looking to detract from the existing ride quality in any way. This is a daily driver so if I do anything I would be looking to increase performance and/or ride quality without sacrificing the other. If that's not possible I'll just stay stock.

My opinion differs from a few here on CL, but I have the Bilstein B6/Swift combo and have zero complaints with that combination. I know it's highly subjective on how someone perceives ride quality but compared to the Swift/OEM spring combo the Bilsteins were night and day difference in ride quality compared to the Tokico shocks!! For the money/value quotient you can't beat Bilsteins in general weather or not they are paired with swift springs or not IMO....
