Sorry about my review above if it was unclear to everyone who read it. By forever bounce, I was not referring to the constant oscillation that you get when shocks are blown or springs are too bouncy. I was talking about the Evos tendacy to move up or down with every single irregularity in the road. It was pretty annoying. This may be less appearant in the stock MR's suspension but it is still there. I am almost certain you won't find springs better for the Evo (gsr or mr). The OP will probably agree. Bonestock, you don't need the camber bolts as that shop stated. My fronts are set at -1.5. The Evo has a lot of adjustability from the factory. If you still insist on purchasing the camber bolts, I have some new Ingalls camber bolts that I didn't use. PM me if your interested.

Even if they are the best aftermarket spring for the Evo, after what you said about Swift springs making sharp bumps feel worse, I am thinking twice about these springs. What I really want is something that will smooth out those sharp bumps a little better.

I find that the car rides much better with the Swifts. I don't notice the expansion joints or cracks in the pavement like I used to. The only drawback is some of these terrible bumpy back roads. You can notice the reduction in wheel travel. That being said, I have yet to hit the bump stops though.

I have the mr swift springs and to me they ride better than the stock ones. I can't really say they perform better (I changed tires at the same time) but they feel good to me. I have a friend with a new mx-5 who said my car was the only one that he has ridden in that didn't feel like it was going to bounce off the road going over a bridge on the way to his house, so they absorb bumps better I think. Most people who ride in my car always think the ride is going to be rougher but are surprised how smooth it is. Sorry for the run on.
