GTworx #1 a bit lower then swift and made to make the car handle.

Swift is a great spring but not low enough for my liking.

Eibach is meh I have them now, drop is nice (lower then adverised) about 1.6-.7 but it handles like poo and I think its too low for the factory shocks.

All springs will be a bit stiffer then stock, check out the spring rates on that chart
