I bought a set of springs for my GSR and I was sent the wrong ones. (even after I was given a part number to double check it) Needless to say I have the best possible lowering springs out there and I can't use them. If you have a 2005/2006 MR and you are looking for a nice drop and the best spring for your stock bilstens, let me know.

I payed 280US (shipped) for them. And 90 bux in duty. I don't expect to ever get out of that hole, but shoot me an offer and be nice!

They are in N.Van btw.

Those can be used on the KYBs with zero issue. The only difference is slightly less rear initial spring rate.

Yup, duty was killer cause it was such a hefty box, I don't expect to recoup that btw, I was just venting! (not to atmosphere though, Evo guys don't do that) Thanks for the bump!

You may have just made my day Smike! I actually ordered these after reading your reviews, great writeup btw. So here is exactly what Swift told me on the phone (I didn't get them from Swift, I just called to ask) and they said:

The GSR uses 4M008R's front and rear. If you order a set of 4, they will all have this number on them.

The MR uses 4M008R's on the front, but 4M017R's on the rear.

The Swift guy said he couldn't recomend me using them. (but then again he's probably never tried it either) So let's be clear: I am using Swift Spec R's for track duty. I have the first day comming up on Sept.4th, so I need to make sure I am setting up the car correctly. So far as I can tell, Smike probably knows the most on this topic. So I think I have a couple of options. If it was just to drop the car and look cool, I would have no problem puting them in, but I am trying to make it go around corners. Since the fronts are the same MR or GSR, do you think it's worth me having Swift send me a set of 4M008R's for the rears? Would I regret putting in the wrong spring rates in the rear eventually? Or maybe it's so minor I would never notice.

Confused, help me Smike!

If I did buy a set of rear 4M008R's at least I didn't TOTALLY eat it, you know?

Swift Spec R's: front: 157-358 lb/in (6.4k final), rear: 196-380 lb/in (6.8k final) (153-380 for MR). -1.4 in, -0.8 in drop.

Only difference is the 43lb/in difference in the first 1in of travel. Then they ramp right up to the 380 lb rating.

I doubt you will be able to tell the 43 lb difference.

As per smike's advice I have decided to use them. No issues, he was right.
