Coilover Sprint 12in x 2.5in 160lb Barrel

The Coilover Sprint 12in x 2.5in 160lb Barrel by SWIFT SPRINGS is engineered for serious suspension tuning on street and track vehicles. This coilover spring serves as the foundation for custom suspension geometry, allowing drivers and technicians to dial in ride height, spring rate, and chassis dynamics with precision. Whether you're building a competition-ready platform or optimizing a daily driver's handling characteristics, this 160-pound barrel spring delivers the consistent load support needed for repeatable performance across varying driving conditions.

The 12-inch compressed length and 2.5-inch barrel diameter represent a compact, high-performance design that integrates seamlessly with most coilover shock assemblies. At 160 pounds per inch, this spring rate provides a balanced compromise between ride comfort and aggressive handling response—stiff enough to minimize body roll during cornering while remaining manageable for street applications. The barrel configuration ensures consistent spring behavior throughout its stroke, preventing bind-up and maintaining predictable spring force linearity that serious fabricators and tuners demand.

This coilover spring is ideal for owners upgrading independent suspension systems on sport compacts, lightweight performance cars, and custom-built platforms where OEM springs fall short of handling requirements. Installation pairs best with matched damping hardware and proper suspension geometry correction to unlock the full benefits of a stiffer spring rate. Before selecting this spring rate, verify your vehicle's total suspension load, target ride height, and shock damper specifications—160 pounds works best on vehicles in the 2,500–3,500 pound range with complementary shock tuning and alignment work.
