Default springs

i have eibach prokit on my car right now but the drop is too low, i was thinking about these two springs, but cant think of which one is better. I was hoping you guys could lean me towards the right direction.

Thanks

IMO. i would go with swift. they have the best spring material, no sag, and most amount of testing with oem shocks

Well, you didnt disclose that now did you? Still, swift is a better made spring, and lighter too!

I was actually wondering the same question... I've seen an S2000 dropped on H&R springs and it looked good, I've never seen a pic of a car dropped on Swift springs (besides their custom coil-over springs).

Post pics someone please!

Looks clean, not much of a drop but I hear it rides and handles nice.

Why are the swift springs lighter? Unless its some space age material thats got the same strength and spring rate but at less weight I don't think that I'd actually want the lightest springs. That would make me believe they are a thinner coil material and will sag sooner, etc.

The swift's have been proven well. They're light and seem to be one of the better springs you can buy. Losing unsprung weight = good
