Looking for Input: Ohlins R&T to Swift Springs (60mm Linear) Swap

[simplem3]

I’m looking for guidance to help determine what else—if anything—I may need in order to support swapping the stock Ohlins springs from the R&T coilover set to a set of linear 60mm Swift springs with stiffer rates.


1. I have Vorschlag plates. It’s my understanding that I need to get swap the lower portion of the plates to fit 60mm.

2. Does the front lower spring perch need to be swapped support the 60mm spring? If so, what brand?

3. Does the rear spring perch need to be swapped support the 60-65mm spring? If so, what brand?

4. what else do I need to support the swap?




Looking forward to the input.

I had Ohlins R&T, and swapped the rear springs out for TC Kline. Then I pulled out the Ohlins R&T entirely to install a MCS 1-way. When going to the Swift, I believe:
1 & 2: For the Front, call Vorschlag - They will probably build out what you need
3: For the rear, I ordered Rogue Rear Articulating Spring Perches - E46 with the alignment perches. That was costly - $340ish

Ohlins front lower spring perch is 65mm, so you need a 65mm front spring from Swift and a 65mm upper spring perch from Vorshlag. Rear is probably 65mm as well.

why not just run 65mm? gram chasing?

I didn’t know the the F&R Perches were 65mm. If the Ohlins F&R perches are 65mm, I have no problem going with 65mm.

I’m only looking to achieve two things:

1. Moderately stiffer ride
2. flat ride

The plan is to run 9k/12k either Swift or Hyperco.

Yeah 65mm swift is the way to go. Vorshlag or even better 3DM can take care of your perch needs.
