Look at what Swift Spring Fairy brought us today!

HP Autosport · 08-07-2012, 01:35 PM

A set of Swift 1M prototype springs! Installation is scheduled for next week!

These linear rate BMW 1M specific sport springs were designed and manufactured in Japan around the stock 1M dampers and will also work with JRZ or other struts/dampers using stock profile springs.

Does something similar for the 135i application exist?

Very possible in the near future. Please contact Swift USA and let them know you are interested, the more people showing interest the more likely Swift will make it happen.

+1. Also good to get your perspective Harold how they match up to the H&Rs.

Did Eibach ever release theirs? They've been in testing for a while now. TIA

This is still a prototype. No final lowering numbers or price just yet.

There will not be a Swift sport spring for the 1M due to the valving in the 1M struts and shocks not up to the task of handling any additional spring rates.

Harold, can you please elaborate? Not sure I understand what it means that "shocks not up to the task of handling any additional spring rates."

If indeed this is a blanket statement, can we deduce that ANY aftermarket spring is essentially no good when paired with stock shocks? TIA

You are right on target!

Great, thx for clarifying, for me that was the final nail in the coffin as far as springs go.

Now where do we stand with Ohlins

Ohlins Road & Track will not make it in September, but will likely land in October. My fingers are crossed!
