What's the difference?

After 4.5 years of owning my evo, I'm finally going to drop it. Sorry for the noob question(s) but here I go. I'm looking to get the swift springs and run them with the blisten shocks, but what's the difference between the spec-r vs the Mach springs? I also want wheel spacers, what size should I get? Will I need to get a camber kit?

I have an 06 MR and I will be using this as my DD. no mods on this car YET. It's been stock since I've owened my baby.

Thanks in advance!!

The camber is adjustable both front and rear on the EVO 7-9. so no you dont need a camber kit.

Swifts are a great choice for the EVO 9 MR If you DD go with the regular Swift , If you want it stiffer and even better handling is more your taste, then go with the Swift Spec-R.

Drop is 1.4 f and 0.8 rear on the Swift Spec-R

I've been running the Spec-R springs on MR bilsteins since 2008, they're great progressive rate street springs that perform quite well on the track.

They are typically the logical path of upgrade when going from the stock KYB -> MR bilsteins/Swift Spec-R -> Coil-overs.

They have a nice ride height/stance too:

Very sexy. Love the height and the look. Thanks!
