Swift springs are also progressive rate.

...correction, they are step-linear, not progressive (learn something new everyday)...

H&R might be progressive. They are on my SVTF. But they do not release their rates. So I cannot recommend them on the Evo.

Swifts are progressive with 1in of travel to full ramp up. GTWorx "near linear".

Yeah, that would be the softer of the Swifts. Odder of stiffness most to least - Swift Sports, GTWorx, SpecRs.

Sorry to bump and old thread, but I'm researching springs and using the holy "Search" function...

Don't you mean order of stiffness least to most?

basically you have 2 options, 1) the guys already sped fed to you - get some Swift/GTWorx springs and pair them with your MR Bilsteins. handling and comfort, done.

but if you want comfort and height adjustability, i'd suggest Bilstein PSS9s

suspension, like everything in life, is all about compromise: handling, comfort, price <- choose 2

PSS9s have gone up in price over the years, but the cheapest i've seen them go for brand new recently is around $17xx +shipping through vendors on here.

p.s you could recoup ~$400 from selling your MR Bilsteins
