If you want suspension performance, stay stock or buy coilovers. Springs are for looks only and will upset suspension geometry. This is from someone on Eibachs.
suspension geometry is negatively affected when the vehicle is lowered too much, most people buy coilovers to lower their car and they blindly assume performance comes with it. almost all lowering springs on the market come with one objective, to lower the car. on the other hand, swift engineers each lowering spring specifically for every individual cars oem dampers specific stroke range so the shocks wont prematurely blow while obtaining optimal suspension geometry and increasing stroke. unlike all other lowering springs on the market, swift springs will never sag and probably has one of the most accurate springrates on the market. swift should hire me to do marketing for them LOL

I heard that Swift is coming out with the Spec R's for our cars.

That's going to be pretty sick.

It doesnt matter whether your on lowering springs or coilovers, if you lower your car your geometry will be thrown off.
But not to the same extent as springs alone. That's the point I'm trying to make.

The lower the car is the more it throws off the geometry...it has nothing to do with coilovers or springs...

I just installed Espelirs ASD last weekend and its been great. My handling improved and it still kept a comfortable ride. Great buy in my opinion.

yeah there decent springs made in china. They are very well known in japan to sag. I have a few buddies over there I inquired about Espilir and they told me never run them. You get what you pay for.

These things are dirt cheap less than 100 a set.
And I also heard that Tishiki Yoshioka which is sponsored by Espilir runs swift springs on all of his race cars with Espilir stickers.

Not bashing on your buy or anything, just sharing what I've heard that's all
