the swifts are looking to be the choice, but i am thinking about the Tein S.Techs as they have the best look to the car. But for everyday driving what do people think i should do? Just the swifts? It's such a hard choice lol...

good handling and cornering. The ride quality is a little stiffer but that is expected. They are great for now till I save up for coils

I'm probably going to go with the swifts.

They provide a mild to moderate drop. You don't want to go too low on springs because they ruin the rest of the geometry on the car.

True, the chicago weather is bad, and with the pot holes everywhere the swifts should be good. But i do want a nice lowered look also, the Eibachs look real nice in that picture abve...

Good cross weight but they introduce more rake. Also, one of the people who reviewed them stated how the front end falls over a little due to running out of damper.

That said, revalve the MR struts and you probably have a winner.
