i think he has the bilstiens+ swift spec r. he is holding a tech day isnt so i imagine his set up is on the way.

brettmr - cool. i will set a reminder to bug you few months from now if i dont end up getting his.

What are your questions? Personally, I would get the SpecRs.

How are they better?

To answer the OP's question, I wouldn't buy either of those. Why? Because, they're a hair away from sitting on the bumpstops.

Josel - it was blueevog that asked first, but I haven't heard from him since, so you will probably get them. Along with that, my coils should be here late this week or next (I need to call AMR and find out), and I'll be installing them the weekend after I get them. If blue doesn't want my current setup then you are more than welcome to come down the weekend I take them off, and I can help you install them on your car. This way you won't have to wait until mid june.

To OP, I have Spec-R's on my car and I love them! I was very happy that Dan pointed me in that direction.

I have the spec r's on my car and the ride feels close to stock which is great for a more aggressive spring rate

i have bilsteins and spec -r's and i feel it's smoother than my stock springs and kyb setup but i can definitely feel it's faster around a corner. The bilstein HD (Heavy Duty) and spec r springs is a firmer setup the bilstein hd from my understanding and are valved a little bit better than the regular oem bilsteins.
