which spring is better for the mr performance wise

i'm deciding between the swift and the espilier gt springs for my bilsteins.

what would be better performance wise?

i see a lot of comparisons between these on how much they drop the car, but i dont see any on comparing them performance wise. theres a lot of info on the swifts but not a lot on the espiler gt's.


thanks,

albert

No personal experience, but I hear them mentioned together often - often interchanged.

If you get the Swift, be sure to get the MR specific ones - fyi.

Be aware that the Espelir GTs weren't created with the MR Bilsteins in mind but the regular KYB EVO shocks.

I would highly recommend the Swift Springs. I have an 06 MR and I love the ride quality/handling and looks of the swift. (Removes the huge gap up front).
I would call Ed at Evasive Motorsports. He will def. give you a good deal on any Swift products.
