Swift spring and wheel help!

I recently purchased Swift spec R springs for my 05RS from Lancershop. When my springs arrived the box said Evo MR even though the site says nothing about the springs being for an MR. My question is, should i still run these in my car. When reffering to swifts on this site, is it a refrence to the spec r's or the mach sports? Im just a bit confused because im looking about running rota p1's on the car but i dont know what size to get. i want to fill in the wheel well gap very nicley with a good set of low pro tires. Thank you and sorry for the long post. Here is the link for the springs i ordered. http://lancershop.com/customer/produ...cat=104&page=1

Does your box say 4MO17R? Thats what the Spec-R Swifts for my MR says. I assume that might be a little different for the MR Bilsteins. Most info I've found on here is related to the Machs. The drop claims to be the same, but higher spring rate. 1.4/.8 Call Lancershop and return them.

I havent yet they are closed. It just seems weird that the front and the rear springs have different product numbers.

The box on the outside should have label says 4M017R for EVO MR Spec-R springs. And the color of the springs should be in light blue as what other members have posted.
