be on 16" wheels, but not the stockies and i dont want to have to roll my fenders.

I believe you can order the swift in different spring rates. ie: FR:480 R:420

I think they go down to 1.3 inches and with Koni's you can move the perch an additional .5" down

I'm in the same boat as you, about to order the Bilstien PSS9 BUT for like 500.00 less I could get koni's and springs.

You don't want to go too low either, then you'll have to deal with bumpsteer issues, but that's your prerogative.

Do a search in teh Gallery for Koni and see what pictures come back

Had Koni yellow's on my previous car and they leaked. Koni customer service is pretty good though so they replaced them.

For an extra $500 I would go with the Bilstiens.
