I got mine install and it makes noise. I had a reputable installer. I called swift and they told me wait a week and call them back.

Curious to know which site did you end up getting the springs from? I see evasive has theirs on preorder till December

I might be able to fill you in by then, message me and I can check in the morning.

Mine are not making any noise, but as tight as the coils are in the rear I’m not surprised. They might be touching. I had that issue on my Supra with Swift Springs and Swift said they might need insulators on the springs. I never bothered, because I trade the car for my first Type R. I will keep you posted if mine starts to make noise.

I drove it again this morning and the noise is more. Also notice the car now doesn’t like to be in comfort and need to be on sport or higher.

I didn’t have any issues with modes at all. I only drove the car about 20 miles home last night from my friend’s shop. No noises either. Where is your noise coming from, front or rear?

Strange….
As in it’s not comfortable or …. It’s bouncy or…. Something else..

More as it something hitting but noise is faint. I called evasive and my sales rep Josh got Swift to contact me and going today to troubleshoot.

Are you saying that the car does go in comfort mode but the drive/feel is different?

how the shock dampen is not sufficient for comfort and the car to bouncy.

Do you know if they cut off some of your foam absorbers in the front? I’m not sure if that is it, but I trimmed mine.

Drove the car about 12 miles this evening. No issues at all. Car still sits 1/8 inch higher in the rear. Looks great though.

I would make sure they are installed properly and figure out the banging noise before making any judgements on ride.

What type of bouncy? Like slow movement that doesn't stop, or sharp bounces when you hit road imperfections that throw you out of the seat?

so I went to Swift shop to trouble shoot the noise. It ended up being the sway bar link was loose. It was tighten down and it resolve it. After driving without worrying about the noise I was able to give a better impression. The car now has better initial turn in with a more feeling of rear bias. I normally drive on comfort but it was too bouncy and under dampened for that setting. I put the sport mode and feel better but still continue to feel under dampen. I try to type r+ and work well with it but almost feel like being on coilover. I choose now to keep on sport mode for dampening. Swift was great customer support and nice people that work there.
