It all depends on where you are located at and hows the road conditions. For daily driving and slightly rough road as i live in sf, the swift r with bilsteins are okay but i do feel that they are on the soft side and want some stiffer springs. People say swift with the gsr's kyb struts are pretty good too. It all depends. But i wouldnt recommend the tein springs. They are junk.

I have no clue why someone would want coilovers on a DD. GTWorks and bilsteins with a fat rear swaybar.

Its what I switch back to every winter (off season)

There both can be good choice, if you live in a city where there a lot of street curbs to drive up on, nice to have coilovers to raise the car. Pain to pull in sideways everywhere.ive had both, liked them both, hr springs handle so damn good

Yeah thats why i've kinda want coil-overs because you can adjust it whenever you want but to be completely honest with myself I probably would adjust it once and not mess with it again. Street here are fairly good. If i race at all itd be a straight line, and it doesn't snow.
