Best springs?
Don't want coilovers, cost too much so springs it is. I want some springs for my stock struts. Not too low but low enough to get rid of the wheel-fender gap. I just want the lowered look with a nice ride still. All input helps. Thanks!

I have some Swifts. I also so seen others with Eibach and Epic. Average drop is about an inch for all of them.

Depending on how my taxes pan out I may be getting a set of coil in which case the swifts will be up for sale.

Here is an uber recent pic of my car on the swifts. But I know you have seen my car in person a couple times.



If you want really good ride quality and handling, I would suggest upgrading the struts or getting coils. The lower springs really bring out the sub-par dampening of the 2.5i struts.

The thing with the konis is that you need to hack up you stock suspension.

DON'T BUY TEIN S.TECH... The ride quality is HORRIBLE. The only up side to those springs is the drop.

Can't wait to get my coilovers!

Swift Sports. Had them on for 2 months so far. Loving them. Subtle drop and handles better.
