+1, I'm sitting on Swifts as well. GTWorx or Swift are by far the best springs out there. Especially with the MR Bilstiens. Dump the Teins fast!

You might want to check your math!!!

Teins are not matched well for the stock struts, the drop is too low and will cause the sturts to fail prematurely. As people have already stated there are lots of good options, but Tein is not one of them.

the forum ***** favorites are... swift and gtworx... they do both perform well.
