Count me in as well...depending on price. Really like the reputation swift has in the community, and the fact that they acknowledge the front requires more of a drop than the rear virtually sells me on them.

Alright guys, I have been talking a lot with my guy at Swift and the springs will be coming out very soon. What he has told me is that MSRP is going to be $399. But he also said he could work something out where we would get a hundred bucks off the price. Which is a good deal considering Swifts reputation in the Evo community and soon to be RA community. I will post more details as they come to me. Again if you are interested in a potential group buy, please pm me.

Well, I sent out a PM, but really will need more info before I commit, what will the drop be, spring rates, etc.
Keep us in the loop and thanks for the info.
Right now, I am holding off on the coil-overs to see what Swift develops.

$400 retail is real steep, even with the reputation. I was expecting a list price around $300 with a group buy around $225-$275. The Evo X springs go for $299?

I think you might have.misunderstood. $399 is the MSRP, items almost never sell for MSRP. I shouldn't have wrote the MSRP thing, I will let you know when set retail price is told to me. Thanks

MSRP= Manufactures Suggested Retail Price
So if your talking to Swift, then they would equal the M in MSRP. Now they may be cheaper with one of there authorized vendor/ resellers.

The MSRP is just the suggested retail price for the springs for the vendors. Most vendors go below MSRP to sell the product, because either way they are making money buying the product at wholesale. It seems to me that Swift will setup up buy through a vendor.
Here is what he wrote to me last week
"MSRP will be at 399 dollars per set. I will set you up with a good price though because you have helped me out. Im sure people will be able to purchase these springs for about 300 dollars, I will see what I can do for you. And when they are in full production if you can do a review of our product on the boards that would be great.
