I drive it 4 out of 7 days of the week, no autocross or track yet. I was going more for the look, but I dont want to lose stability like some of my searchs said, sometimes i drive it like I stole it. Ive read about teins s and h techs, eibachs pro kit and robi`s, i was considering robi`s because of the drop, i think the car would look nice slammed. Just wanted some opinions on it.

I purchased my swift spec-r's just about 4 months ago.. which I had eibach sport springs on there before and its a world of a difference. It rides much better than it ever has. It rides even smoother than it ever has with the swifts on there. It drops its about 1.8 in the front and about 1.2 in the back and makes it look fresh. Very little body roll with these bad boys.

+1^ I agree with Brsox. Swift R's are the best on springs only. And if you don't have the Bilsteins, get those as well.. It will have the aggressive look, but still have good stability when driving. recommend rear sway in the future as well. That is the cheapest, but best street setup I have had...

Swift = 1.3" front, 0.8" rear
RobiSpec = 1" front 1" rear
Works = 1" front, 1" rear. By secial request you can get 1.2" front springs.
GTWORX = 0.8" front, 0.6" rear
EDIT: Whoops, I just read. I'm too late. Good choice either way

I have Swift Spec-R springs on my IX RS with the stock KYB struts and
they work well together. I had mistakenly purchased the Tein S-Techs
but was able to return them before the install. I heard so much negative
feedback about them and I didn't want to take a chance. Although I
would prefer an even lower ride height the Swifts will make do until
its time for some real coilovers instead!

I like my swift sports I put on my car last week however they only dropped the car about an inch from what i measured =( Ride quality is a little smoother than stock but handling is improved slightly.
