Can't give out exact spring rates, but some things we've been looking at:

1. 1 inch or less lowering
2. Rates that are geared towards handling as a priority (think Swift-like but definitely not the same).
3. Ride quality thats close to stock

Hi Andrew, how will you differentiate your springs from the Swifts with respect to handling (autox & track)?

Our springs will be a step above the Swifts in terms of handling. Rates will be slightly higher, and ride height will also be a little higher.

The taller ride height is good for convenience (a lot of people are requesting it, people who want a slammed look will look elsewhere), but also for travel and roll center issues. Our springs will rock with or without the Whiteline ball joint extenders.

Won't be Ford Bronco tall, just taller then Swifts. Still lower then stock. It'll look good.

Swifts are great springs, and we will continue to sell them. These are gonna just be another option for people looking for something a little taller and more track oriented. We're using Swifts as a starting point to improve upon

Hopefully soon?

It's the start of spring aren't you guys done yet

Just Kidding! Well sort of. It would be nice to hit the track with them before the summer heat comes in, oh well I guess the stock suspension will have to do

Keep up the great work, my money is ready when you are

GTWorx does great work and has awesome customer service! I for one am glad we have them around supporting the EVO community. A few other shops could learn something about customer service and community support from these guys ...

Well if this is a gauging interest thread, consider my interest gauged. I don't want to lower the Evo any more than necessary to improve performance.

Ya know this sounds like something i would like, Im looking for something to drop the front about an inch and the rear about half an inch, I think a 1inch in back would slam the rear to much, Do you have a ball park price on what these will run, Thanks for your time.
