swift spec-r's. They definitely improve the stock handling, and aren't much worse of a ride than the stock setup I had on my MR. One of the better mods IMO, and should help at the strip too cause you won't dig-out back so bad.

I got mine from MAPerformance for $260 shipped, new. I'm not sure what the current prices are.

Had my Swift springs installed by English Racing a few months back and they did a great job. They had them done in an hour.

^another AMR user. Nice. that is what I would go to if I ever start tracking. I don't see that anytime too soon though.

I'm all for sending bidness to ER, but springs are pretty cool to do on your own with friends.

Haha thanks, but I'm a EX-yota guy. Solid axled a 87 4runner. So I'm sure I can slap a few springs on

^of the actual springs, or how the car sits? I don't think I actually have a good side profile picture of the car with swifts. I kept meaning to do it after install but never really got around to it.

yeah, I just checked. Nothing. I'm an idiot.

Part of it is because my driveway is kind of steep and when parked on it (for pix) the front goes higher than it should. Of course I only think about taking pics when my car sits like that too. Sorry.

Okay thanks anyways. With swift it will be level right? Because I don't know if it's just my oem springs, but it looks like the front is higher then the rear. Drives me crazy!!!

The Swift Spec R is a great set of springs, but thing is, it's a bit overpriced right now. GTWorx will do fine too. gl!

IMO just buy some used Swifts and then get coilovers later

here you go OP.

best bet is to find a used set in the marketplace.
