I was planning on upgrading my stock suspension with a set of Muellerized Springs or Swift Sport Mach Springs and also adding a 15mm spacer when running the stock wheels. I have heard nothing but good things about Swift products.

Coilovers are a great choice if you dont plan on doing a lot of winter driving on the car. I have seen to many people drive on coilovers during the winter months, only to have the aluminum portion of the coilover corode to the point where you can no longer adjust the collets the adjust height and preload. If you are going to by driving this in the snow, I would go with a set of springs. Just my .02.

Yep I just installed my GTWorx and I love them for DD. $299 shipped on the forum price! Im sure the spec R is almost the same.

Well just like any maintenance part , if you maintain it it won't matter were you are at they will all degrade at one point or another. I religiously clean my coilovers after being close to salt environments.

Plus some of the coilovers such as KW's are corrosion resistant and are probably even better than the stock suspension offerings( they will either corrode just as fast or faster) if they are not properly maintained.

I just installed swift spec r few weeks ago, I can't praise enough about the dd. If you're looking for a crazy drop look somewhere else.

Try Swift Spec R or GTWORX, the drop is just right and the ride is pretty much the same with stock. Swift Sport can be a bit too soft

I've been running KW v3's for 2 weeks now and absolutely love them. I currently have them at the out of the box settings and they feel slightly stiffer than stock. The way the car feels now is just simply amazing; it’s much more responsive and controlled. Body roll has almost been completely eliminated.

Are they overkill for a DD? Yes, but one could argue an Evo is overkill as a DD as well.

I have no experience with them and can't find plots, so I have no opinion.
