In our experience, these have been the best performance springs out there. Teins may look sweet, but the Swifts will ride and handle better. Espelir GT's are also good, but so darn rare.


We are designing our own springs to release "soon-ish" that have around an inch of lowering with relatively high rates. For the performance crowd, not the poser crowd.

Wouldn't you want to go with springs that are DESIGNED for the MR suspension!?!?!?!? Go with Switf if you want a linear spring or Works if you want progressive. It is as simple as that. Yes the best way to do it is Coilovers but that can always wait a little until you have the scrill.

I personally have Swift springs and i like em a lot...but going with coilovers as soon as i can afford em.

I'm still waiting for my Swifts that my wife ordered from GTWORX for my Christmas present. I'm getting anxious to get them on. I wanted to go coilovers but don't have the money yet, so I decided to try some springs and SWIFT seemed to be the best option for good performance.

so, if you lower your car like 1 inch on stock shocks, it would be fine right? would it cause the premature wearing of your stock shocks?

ive noticed the tien stech's feel a little soft. the car seems to handle marginally better, and they look real nice. but the just seem to ride a bit soft. so i got a set of sprints to see how diffrent it will be. so if your not going to be racing the crap out of the car i dont think the tiens are a bad deal.

If your a driver and want the most cornering ability offered from springs....Tanabe GF210...GF stands for Grip Feeling.
30% stiffer rate over the stockers. I love them on my daily driven evo. I would alsdo recommend the Hotchkis rear sway bar.
