from what i've seen & heard & read so far.... go with the invidia (i prefer teh N1 myself) and cobb springs with whiteline sways. then again, it's just what i would get for my car if i had the money right now, so get whatever you really want.

From what ive seen and gotten to ride in the ride quility with the Swifts is a lot more comfortable and secure feeling. the Cobbs lower the car a bit more than i like too. The springs i have are a hybrid more or less of the 2. I have the great ride, and im lower than Swifts but not as low as Cobbs.

Perrin is nice....I have one on my bugeye and I love it.

I also have whiteline swaybars front/adj. rear. Just be sure to upgrade your rear swaybar mounts to heavy duty ones or you will break the stock ones at the worst possible moment and send you into a curb....(not that I would know from experience or anything.... )

There are many good springs out there. Cobb, SPT (same as STi pinks essentially), Crucial Racing makes nice ones as well, and Swift also makes nice springs. I think you would be happy with any of them.

The Crucial Racing springs are also modeled after the STi Pink springs. Infact If I'm not mistaken they are even similar drop/spring rates.
