SWK Lowdown Sports Spring Set (ZC33S)
The product installed this time is SWK (Suzuki Works Kurume), a product sold by a dealer who operates Suzuki Arena Kurume Nishi.
The points I emphasized in this lowdown are as follows.
- My wife and children ride mainly, so I don't want to make it stiff.
- I want to utilize the genuine shock made by Monroe as it is.
- Emphasis is placed on stability when cornering while ensuring ride quality.
With that in mind, I was looking for a product that was made with consideration for compatibility with genuine shocks, not with harmonic drive.I was told that SWK springs are goodSo I decided to buy this.
Spring and bump rubber, and32,500 yen (excluding tax) for a 3-piece set of camber boltsAnd quite cheap. I ordered it online and arrived immediately in about 2 days.
Evaluation and impression after installing SWK lowdown sports spring
First of all, it looks quite different. Actually, it seems that it has dropped by about 2.5 cm,The whole car becomes low, and I get a strong impression that it is low.The feeling of sitting in the driver's seat was even lower, and it became more like a sports car than a family car.
When I started running, the ride quality was not bad at all. Rather, on a flat road surface, the feeling of flatness and stability is increasing with an even better impression.
On small bumps and rough roads, the ride quality is almost the same as normal.
The only difference is that sometimes a shock comes when you go over a big step... For the time being, since I replaced it with a dedicated bump rubber, it should be quite difficult for the suspension to bottom out, but even so, there are occasional impacts on large steps, so if it is a genuine bump rubber, it will be terrible as it is. That's it.
Therefore, if you are thinking of replacing it, we recommend that you also replace the bump rubber.
andThe big difference is the sense of stability during cornering.The feeling of high waist like normal hides the shadow, and you can turn with confidence even at a reasonable speed. It's a lot of fun because you can bend like a cut.
The spring rate is 2.3kgf / mm at the front and 2.7kgf / mm at the rear, which is not high at all, but I think that the center of gravity of the car has dropped considerably due to the drop in vehicle height. Therefore, the roll does not get bigger on the way, and the driver can turn the curve with great peace of mind by continuing the roll at a certain level.
I think the sense of stability has increased even on the highway.Originally, the normal suspension was stable on the highway, but it feels like the ground contact has increased. There is no problem with riding comfort at high speeds. It's usually comfortable and you shouldn't get angry with your family.
For now.My wife seems to like it very much, and she says that she feels more stable and enjoys driving.I sometimes travel in Suissepo, but it's certainly fun.
Because it is light, it accelerates to fly from any speed range and can run through the city with sharp handling. The shift operation feeling and the ease of handling the clutch are also outstanding.It's a car that makes you want to drive as much as you want.
Personally, I'm quite happy with this custom, but if I want to,In addition to this, a reinforced stabilizer is added to the front to increase the roll rigidity, and the seat is replaced to lower the seat height a little more.The delusion just grows, but if I overdo it, my family will not be able to ride it, so I think I'll keep it in moderation these days.

Hello.
Now that you have a good car to hone your skills, why not try building an LSD and try Gymkhana?
I think that if you acquire the technology to swing the car in the competition, a new world will open up in Porsche Life as well.
Also, regarding stabilizers, pitching is left as it is and only the roll is suppressed, the behavior becomes unnatural and the setting becomes complicated, so it is a well-established theory in the motor sports world to make the last move.
Hello.
thank you. I was wondering if I should know about the stabilizer.
It's a family car, so I have no plans to make it any faster ^^
If so, maybe I should buy another one, the same Swiss Po, and make it my own and go crazy (laughs).
