What kind of performance differences have you noticed with the WORKS springs? Do you take your car to the track/autoX? Any problems with speed bumps, etc.... I like that works has less of a drop than the swifts. I have a CF lip I definitely don't want to break

I have put a few track events/autox on them and they do quite well. I think if you stay on street tires they do real well. Still a little brake dive and a hint of body roll but its very easy to deal with. Much better than stock imo.
I think you should let me autoX your car to "test drive" the Swifts Then you can drive mine

The WORKS springs seem to be more stiff than stock and have a good ride to them. I dont take my car to the track or autoX. I dont notice any problems with speed bumps but mainly cuz i take them super slow as it is. I think these springs would be good for you since you want to be really careful with that CF lip. My front end makes it over the parking curbs (well most of the time, depends on if i have any people in the car or not).

If you are in the area we could meet up and go for a quick ride to see how they feel in person. LMK

If I didnt have coilovers I would prob run the swift springs as they are IMHO the best spring on the market as far as price/quality is concerned. Never drove a/in a car w/ WORKS springs, but the material that the swifts are made of are guaranteed not to sag at all, that is their trademark. Just FYI

Yes...but the ones that most vendors sell are the ones you want. I did my research months ago, before I scored a sweet deal on my coilovers. Just go to swifts website or talk to a vendor.

There are MR specific ones and ones for the regular Evo. One is for the Bilsteins and one for the KYB. There is very little difference though.
