looks good, but i bet the ride sucks. hope you can save up for some struts. TEINs are not the way to go.

I went from S-tech's to Swifts and there is DEFIANTLY a differance in ride quality. The S-tech's weren't stiffer, but they were much more "bouncey" as if I had cut springs. Bad struts? No, because I put the Swifts on the same struts and the swifts rode just as good as stock.

I will say this,. The drop with the S-tech's does look good, but the Swifts don't sit THAT much higher. They're more expensive, but they're well worth it.

These are the kind of comments that make message boards impossible to take advice from sometimes for new people. Im glad i didn't listen to people like you when i bought my setup. My S-techs ride fantastic and the car looks better with the Tein drop than any other spring. How we feel the car looks is subjective however stating things like "Teins are not the way to go" is just bad advice. All aftermarket springs put more stress on the stock struts.

Well im glad you graduated from engineering school to tell us this.... ur own remarks are made up with no factual information... swift springs are in fact stiffer and designed w/ form and function in mind... Why dont explain to the newbie what "bottoming out a suspension" means...
