Eibach and swifts give a suddle stance with good performance characteristics

I personally run and like the Tanabes. Much more aggressive stance and harder springs...

Don't waist your money on the Tein Ss.

swifts are great and they improve handling

tanabes are alright

teins are only for looks

Swift springs are:

Front - 1.38"
Rear - .79"

Here's a pic from the Evasive Motorsports ad in the vendor section. These are the springs I'm getting soon too.

tanabe gf210 FTW. Tanabes ride incredibly smooth yet still firm.
