Order of stiffness (stiff to soft): KYB, HD, MR.

Swift designed an MR spring for the CT9A (only a 50lb difference at the starting rate) due to the MR's slight valving differences.

Thats not the USDM 'MR' trim level.

IX MR is a '9.5' elsewhere, pretty much a generation slotted between IX and X, produced in 2007. They came with Eibach springs, but I am not sure if they are identical to the pro models you are talking about.

I would like to see spring comparison on the swifts and eibachs. I tried searching to see how much of a drop on stock wheels would look.

Smikeevo- so you are saying MR model shocks and eibachs as a set up will be very soft?
What would be the best set up for daily driving?

I just want to lower the car a bit and still have the OEM feel as it was before.

Comparison of Swifts to Eibachs?

They don't really compare - E are softer than stock and lower the car (they are progressive but what is the initial and final rates?). Performance wise - thats not good.

Eibach Pro-Kit:**....165lbs(2.9k)....140lbs(2.5k)....1.2f / 1.2r
Stock(USDM):..........180lbs(3.2k)....225lbs(4.0k) ......STOCK

My favorite straight DD is the MR's untouched. If you want to lower it, the Swifts are very comfortable around town and they handle great.

How low they are and the spring rate used goes a long way here.

I have 25k on my HD's and Swifts.
