Default Swift Springs - Problems

Anyone else with Swift Sprints experience the most heinous noises when going over any hump or dip?

They make noise like no other and really seem to knock the car down class wise to me.

Any other recommendations for springs that won't make this noise? I feel pretty embarrassed driving by people with current setup.

Hmmm, who installed your springs? How long have you had them installed? If you haven’t had them on long i’d see about maybe taking the car back to the shop to see if they can take a look. I know swift’s are normally pretty good and are widely used here, surprised your having these kind of issues with them.

Mine don't make noise either. Could it be that they're the wrong springs (not RCF's)?

I've had my swift springs for almost a year and never had any issues with them. I love them and would recommend them. Seems like you either got a defective one or they gave you the wrong ones. I would contact the shop that installed them and where you picked them up.

2017 as well. I vaguely remember someone actually saying something was different when installing than previous years. Could be the issue...

anyone else have issues with a 2017 or later (AVS model) with swift springs installed? Appreciate the feedback since I am really on the fence about having them installed...
