Swift Springs out for 08 STI! We need one to try them out!

If you are familiar with Swift you know they make some awesome springs. Well they have JUST released their Sport Mach springs for the 08 STI. We have one set that we would like to install on a local 08 STI to see how they fit, get a real life driving impression of these, and see the ride height in person.
Pretty much the same deal we had when the Spec R came out for the 05+ STI. All we ask for is a little write up on them after you try them out.

We have 1 set we are offering for our COST + install!

PM or call if you are interested!

^thanks Chris. I already called them. They wanted about $500 and that's just a little too expensive lol I've installed springs sooo many times that it would take 45 minutes to due. Which is less time than driving there and won't cost the install $ or gas $.

Mann Engineering has them for $310 and installing them myself would save me the other $200. Or could go Cobb for $250. It's just that $500 for springs on the car is not what I am willing to pay

plus $20 for gas

Thanks for the offer though. I just like saving money on doing the installs myself. But in a few weeks, when I want to pick some Swifts up I will definately order a set from you guys

As long as they're priced the same as every where else, which I'm sure they will be because you guys are usually really good with your pricing
