Default springs...

i want to lower about 1"
i want to maintain as close to stock ride quality as possible.

what springs do you guys reccomend?

i heard good things about swift, but they are like $250, whereas tien's are only $160. why the huge price jump over an already good company?

Swifts...Almost stock feel, less body roll, higher corner speeds, higher transitional speeds, less than an inch drop. 18mm front 25mm rear. Linear compression springs. On AP2 I have noticed easier to oversteer the car, maybe a good thing or a bad thing it depends on yoour driving.

If you just want springs I say go with these... they work!
