Very nice.....I didn't even realise Koni had these. The Koni yellows are supposedly some of the best Auto-X-ers you can buy Shocked

I trust that they are just the "shock inserts" though (you'd have to cut open the strut and install the Koni cartridge into the casing)??? I know this is how it is with some other of their offerings. Question

id buy these if i could get away with hiding them under my warranty.
those of you that have swift sports would you say a set of coilovers would be a large advantage over its stock suspension?
ive had coilovers on a previous car (cyborg zr with konis) which turned out not to really need them as its stock suspension was very well balanced i didnt really get value for money on them i couldve spent the money elsewhere.
Anyone sourceing strut braces for these yet? (good ones)

How would these affect my drive?

The body of the car feels a bit stiffer. I only have the front upper bar so far. Gonna get the rest hopefully sometime soon.

If ya wanna upgrade I might be willing to buy the stock sport shocks/springs Smile

getting coilovers set up in this country is still difficult ...as not many ppl know how to set them up using corner scales ..... so handling can actually become worst.
a good combination of stiffer springs and matched shocks is best for a daily driver.

i know alot off pll complain about the body roll and instability of the swift at high speed and have found the strut bar kit works well to reduce both.

^^Won't it be around the same height? The Sport shocks are taller than the 1.5 struts....but aren't the Sport's springs also shorter?
