Lowering Springs....

Well yeah its another one of these threads, Ive search and found a couple of "Best Spring" threads ill post them at the bottom but everyone has so many different opinions. And none really refer to my set up. My car is strickly for DD and i go to the drag strip often. So i want somethin Thats gonna drop my car a good bit But not mess with the roll/ Handling of the car when i wanna go ballin down a back road. I dont have the money for coil-overs or else i would go that route so i just want to put spring on for now and if i ever have the need to do coil-overs ill bite the bullet and get them. But just wondering what everyones opinion is for my set-up and what kinda spring i should get.? Thanks guys


Car- DD, 1/4mile
Want the car low. but not ganster low
Dont want to mess the HAndling up!

Im leaning towards the Swift spec r's But i dont know how low it will take me.

Dont thing the Gt works are gonna be low enough for what i want.
Thanks for the help in adavance!

If you're looking for more of a drop then our GTWorx springs....then IMO the only choices are either the Swift Sports or the Swift Spec R's.

If you can, you should go with Swift springs and team it up with the MR bilsteins. The stance is good, and the ride is great. Feels like the stock springs on KYB shocks, so it's not to rough for daily driving.

you can try out the robispec springs. I have them on my car and they dropped the car an inch all around. I did the basic robi package that included springs, rear sway bar, bushings, laser alignment, and rear bump steer and the handling is great. The springs are around $210 shipped

Spec R testing coming over Xmas break for me. TG had too little time off. But I will have much more time to get a feel for the car. My review will be up soon!

The spring rate is higher in the front, however the springs lower the car about an inch, maybe a little more all around. I have the robispec basic suspension package on my IX and absolutely love it.
