Hey I have koni yellows with the swift coilover set that fits over them. This coilover set is much higher quality than all the kw v1/2s that people are running (in my opinion). Koni rears are brand new and fronts in great condition. The springs are 100s and 60s (linear)

I bought the kit from a fellow 1er who decided to leave his koni rears on the car when he went back to stock because his stock rears were shot, so I bought the new rears myself.

Having had my car in Boston now for a couple months, the roads are just too harsh in the city to warrant a nice suspension so I am going to stay stock. This setup runs ~$2k new and I am looking for $1,000 OBO. Do not really want to ship.

Post, PM or text me at 971.998.5314

Also have for sale:

Stock tail lights
Passenger side headlight (HID / adapt), with new tabs
Brand new mudflap set
Authentic BBS RC 18 x 9.5 / 8.5 wheels in grey - GORGEOUS ($2,500)

Dumb? But why is this setup so high when you can get the koni yellows for 650 and a set of hr springs for 225

So they are hight adjustable but dampening is set, much like the V1's? What is the spring rate on the Swift's?

You are able to adjust dampening on Koni's. These would be more like v2's height and dampening adjustment without progressive springs. OP posted 60 and 100 as spring rates but that does not sound right to me. IIRC KW uses Koni dampeners as well in their coilovers.

Interesting, I am quite new and learning this, did not even know the yellows you could adjust the rebound, but those spring rates seem really low if he means 60lb/in and 100lb/in for our cars correct.

I will double check the spring rates tonight

Just did some quick research -

Swift 100s and 60s mean 10kg/mm and 6kg/mm or 560 lbs/in and 336 lbs/in

Those are the correct rates in lbs
