Had my suspensions upgraded to the Tein. It is just perfect for the desi roads and costs a BOMB...

[Sportsmind]

Had the complete set of Ultra racing suzuki swift specific racing braces for stability and comfort on my swifty.
Great stuff to get the ultimate driving pleasures and the drive now behaves much better with the turbo power. The bars are holding all the end points together pretty well.
Concerns: The front and rear lower arm bars have been giveing me some bit of worries keeping in mind the "mountain speed breakers" on our roads. I have done the spring adjustments a bit more to take care of this issue. Still unpredictable the way our roads are designed.
With the tein suspension and the racing braces uploaded I can feel a complete change over on the drive conditions.

Loads of stuff in there!!

Is there any shield to protect the underside of the engine and pipes?

With so much investment in the engine bay, a protective cover to protect the pipes and stuff should be a must!

Whats the white rod between the rear wheels?

btw great upgrades!!

That swift detailed, would look super awesome!!

LOL. How would adjusting springs in any way affect the bars that are mounted at the bottom of the car?

Lol Pranav.

Sportsmind - Congrats buddy, now your swift will handle very well. I wish you had done the teins first and then the braces to see how much each actually helped. How is the ride with teins compared to stock?

Atleast I should get some additional road clearence through the height adjustments options available on these suspensions.

Thanks buddy. It is handling pretty well. I too wanted to have this done in two stages was a bit lazy taking the drive all over again just for the braces. Over all with both these on, I am enjoying the feel inside the cockpit.
Tein in comparison with stock, no where close to it. These suspensions have been reserched by the Japs to match Indian conditions after lot of research, so they betta be good when you shell 60k on the basic model and 85K on the super street models.

But the bar is at the bottom of your springs, so adjusting the spring for ride height will have no effect on the clearance of the bar.

Good to know. But I asked you about the ride Is it any stiffer than stock? Or even slightly more uncomfortable? Secondly, I highly doubt Tein has really researched Indian conditions.

My TC Swift is running TIEN suspension & it is more than adequate to handle the power. One can if one wants - take insane & unthinkable turns & stay glued to the road.

havent seen these in India. I got it from Taiwan for 35USD. This is a plug into the stock cabin light of the swift.

Well I could have been a bit dumb as far as the clearence issue of the bars were concerned. Anyways these racing braces comes with a lifetime warranty some bit of relief. Trust me they change the dynamics of your drive.
On Tein I go with Ricky these are just great stuff to have on your drive. I fell in love with the feel and the comfort when I did a test drive on Mr. leela's swift. This prompted me to just go for it. On the Jap's research bit of getting these suspension kits tuned to desi road conditions well it could be marketing points for RRR. All in all get to have these stuff on my swifty.

Thanks dude for the . Its two sides of the coin as far as my swifty goes. The Bling side and the performace side and ofcourse there is plenty of poison in the international market as far as swift is concerned.
Most of the questions on the stuffs loaded has been discussed on the thread if anything specific do let me know will be glad to provide you details of the "Poison shops".

Been busy for a month but in between had my latest gizmo loaded into the cockpit. You cannot be behind as far as technology goes. This is my latest ICE conversion "Apple ipad with car seat mount".
Oh yes the drive is also now a Wi-Fi enabled fella. Runs on a portable 3G/2G router and I use an MTS 3.1 device.
Excuse the image quality as it was taken on my cell phone. I am awaiting a component AV cable to complete this project and shall have a video done on the same.
