FWIW, I respect your advice, but could you expand on what you mean when you write, "automotively viable"? I have been leaning toward the GTWorx springs myself and wondering if they will work with my stock KYB's, or not?

I have the Swift springs with the MR Bilsteins. They drop the car just enough to get rid of that "Japanese car wheel gap" :-)
They have a slightly softer ride over small bumps but stiffen up quickly since they are progressive rate.

If you want better bump steer performance the GTworx are probably best since they don't drop as far and avoid hitting the bump stops as much.

Short answer, springs that won't make the car handle worse and may even improve some aspects of its performance. Wish there were more than two options, but that's really all we have, spring-wise. Everything else is either compromised or there's not enough real-world data to suggest it as an alternative.

haha well the swifts drop the same as the tanibe i didnt realize that ill look into them the only reason i had my mind set on the Hotchkis or Tanibe is because i know people that run the and love them. i have a friend that runs tien to and he loves them so i guess thats not saying much cause i hate how it rides haha

I really don't understand people sometimes. And I'm a psychologist.
There's a sticky in this forum that gives you the rates for all the standard aftermarket springs. But, instead or reading this (before deciding what to do and/or starting a new thread), you rely on the opinions of people who probably have no experience with springs other than those on their own car.
The internet is a pool of water. You are the horse. Drink, for Pete's sake!
