Increased Suspension Travel with a Reduced Coil Design

A defining feature of the new 8" x 2.5" ID Barrel Springs is their reduced coil count, utilizing one fewer coil than a traditional spring of similar dimensions.

This innovative design increases available suspension travel while maintaining the consistent spring performance racers expect from Swift Springs. Additional travel allows the suspension to react more effectively to changing track conditions, helping improve tire contact and overall chassis compliance.

For racers fine-tuning suspension geometry and weight transfer, the added travel provides another valuable tool for optimizing vehicle balance and handling.


Thirteen Spring Rates to Fit Your Setup

The new Barrel Spring lineup includes 13 spring rates, giving racers the flexibility to select the ideal spring for a wide range of chassis configurations, track conditions, and driving styles.

Whether competing on dirt or pavement, having multiple rate options allows teams to better tailor suspension performance to changing conditions throughout the racing season.
