Smoother/better ride

Ok, i searched for this and found nothing so i was just wondering whats a good spring kit that will not only give me better handling but also a nicer ride in general. I know its not going to compare to beemers and benz but i was just on the look out for a new setup. Lowering the car would be nice too

I've looked and read alot of post about this same question...the general idea is that ...swift springs and bilstien suspension...is the best mix and match..

the swifts give you a good drop and the bilstiens give you a good ride, so you get the best of both worlds...

Yeah the MR bilsteins are probably you're best bet, that's what they're made for.

Swifts or our own GTWorx springs, which have less of drop so you retain more strut travel.

I already have the 06 MR so if i went with swifts itd be a good choice? The Local Tire choice recommends Eibach's. Anyone Recommend these, i know the names out there but anyone use them?

Since you've already got an MR, the Swift springs (they make a set specifically for the MR) are your best choice based on the hundreds of reviews and posts on this site. Other option is to go with coilovers.

The GT Worx springs on the MR make a huge difference in both the handling and the ride quality The overall improvement in the car is very impressive..especially when you consider the cost..dollars VS performance ratio....you will wish other things you paid alot more for worked as well...Can't go wrong with these,and there is an EXTRA..the small drop in height makes the car look a little more meaner! How cool is that? Pete

Send a PM to GTworx. I am not a fan of just springs but if I were ever to get a set they would be the gtworx. Like they said it gives you that lowered look but its not to low and your struts will thank you
