    I tried to find info on these but couldn’t find anything on the forum, so.

    Good or bad? What are your thoughts on Sway-a-way?

    I’m thinking about picking up a set while they are on sale till Dec. 31

    Can't speak on them these days because I know they got bought out, but back a few years ago they made some solidly built products. The coilovers I have are actually still in service from 2012 when they were originally produced, have endured some serious abuse and just keep going.

    SAWs are considered to be in the same league as King, Fox, Icon, ADS, etc. They're a solid performance coilover, I've only ever heard good things about them.

    I believe aFe sells/owns them now

    Good to hear they were good. Thats a great life out of those shocks. How often do you have to rebuild them?

    Thats give me some confidence hopefully the new company will keep up the reputation of the previous SAW owners.

    I've only rebuilt them once. They are typically 100K mile suspensions unless you have been fading them on a consistent basis.

    Sounds like some sturdy stuff. I looked into it more today and AFE sells it cheaper on their website then the SAW homepage. Hopefully its the same quality stuff.

    Still waiting for more input if anyone has it too.
