Yep, I would recommend the Sports if just a pure DD. I liked the SpecRs daily too though, not kidney killing harsh. What tires do you run in the summer?

They slot nicely in between Swift Sports and Spec R's.

But with a more functional drop.

that looks like a more functional drop...i actually might be able to get in my driveway without scraping the underside of my lip up...but the front still has that monstertruck gap...

it's not that bad at all....i think both of those shots are right after they were installed. i know the second one is.

this next shot is even with cusco camber plates...which RAISE the front of the car and it still looks good.

Espiler GT...

Pretty stiff springs, manageable drop, but would be nice to get the roll correction to optimize the handling.
