I am debating whether to keep my MR Bilsteins and put Swift Springs on them or get the Megan Street Coilovers... I don't track my car.. I just daily drive..

Which will be the best bet? I can trade my Bilsteins straight up for the street megan coils...

Please help ) :

 

i would trade for the Megans, more adjustability and they have had good reviews

and the money possibly spent on the springs could just go to an alignment

 

I had the MR Bilsteins + Swifts and they are definitely great for daily driving if you don't plan to upgrade. I just recently upgraded to Megan Tracks and took it to Streets of Willow; they handled WAY better than I expected and am extremely happy with them. Can't go wrong with either setups for a DD, but save your money if you are not going to track.

 

If you don't track your car and you are happy with the drop the swifts provide there's no reason to switch to coilovers.

The MR suspension is probably the best you'll find for a street car.

If you want your car to remain flatter with less roll you can try a rear sway bar or whiteline roll center kit.

 

Yeah, what he said

There are other options for springs. GTWorks has MR springs and so does WORKS. Either of those would be great options. The Swifts are great as well.

 

Not to jack this thread ,but what alignment specs do you guys recommend for a DD.

 

i have the bilsteins and swift springs and all i can say is this combo is great. for daily driving it is great and stiff but not as stiff as stock suspension where it is bouncy.

 

I would go with -1.5 front with 0 toe in the front and -1.0 rear with 0 toe.

 

How will that setup effect handling?

 

Everyone knows I sell the Megan coilovers. However, I'm about to get a set of the GTWorx/Racecomp springs to test on my own Evo (In theory, I find them to be the best of all worlds for the budgeted daily driver). I have customers with the Swifts, but I really believe they take too much away from the suspension travel/ride height. Time will tell soon...

Please pardon me if these are not choices you are looking at. However, I'm all about the daily driver... it is my passion. Until looking into the GTWorx springs, I've arguably ALWAYS found fault in using just " lowering springs" on the Evo suspension geometry.

 

If you don't track your car, save yourself some money and get either GTWorx, Swift MR or Works MR springs to go with your Bilsteins. Ultimately softer spring rates are going to translate to a smoother ride for a daily driven vehicle.

 

....as long as you have sufficient travel left in the damper....meaning the car is not slammed.

Indeed! ... But then that wouldn't be Slammin' mad JDM-Tyte YO!

 

Or you could shorten the strut body, lengthen the spring and lower the rate. In theory you could have a kick *** non-coilover system but the time and $$ spent may not be worth it

 

Swifts springs lower the fronts way more then you would think.. the rake is almost like a funny car..
they are recommended by people that don't know ****..
