I read through Smike's literary work too, good stuff. Went with Swift specR for my 9 MR Bilsteins. I did Whiteline F and R bars first, then the springs.

And the corners I have taken, big improvement. But I'm not the suspension guru like other guys here so I'm no good for detailed reviews. Thanks for all your work on the reviews Smike, it helped me a ton.

:beer: Very welcome!

My friend's Evo 9 with bilstein seems to have different ride heights at the rear (difference of 1cm).
Is this normal?

Double check both the road surface you are on and the spring perch mounts. Make sure they are in both lower and upper notches.

Whats a good price for MR Swift springs?

I recently switched to Swift Sports/OEM Bilstein's from RobiSpec springs/OEM KYB's.

The RobiSpec springs were great. The car handled fantastically, but it still didn't feel as good as my old Evo with the Swifts/KYB set-up. I eventually bucked up, spent the money for Swifts and found a good deal on NEW Bilsteins in the classifieds on here.

At first, when the set-up was new, the car handled differently that the RobiSpec's, but not bad by any means. As time went on, I started to see all the little benifits and positive things about the Bilstein's especially. I'd be going through corners, that before the car would be REALLY choppy over bumps, or bigger bumps, the car bounces less and doesn't feel like it's going to be thrown off the road due to a small bump. Every time I go for a spirited drive, I love the Swifts/Bilstein set-up more and more. This mainly due to the Bilstein's vs. KYB's.

While, I certainly recommend RobiSpec springs, Swifts are just better. Either, matched with Bilstein's should prove to be a great set-up. And I'm sure the GTWORX are better than both. I've never used them. I'm trying to talk my dad into getting GTWORX for his '05 MR.
