So on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being race car stiff, How much stiffer are the GTWorx springs compared to stock? Yes, I saw the numbers but looking for some subjective opinions.

1 being stock and 10 being race car I'd say about a 3

they are stiffer than stock but easily livable with everyday. I've never thought to myself that I wish I had a softer ride...

a friend of mine has a set of Swifts on his 10' MR. It's his daily, but his Evo8 was still in build when a track day came up, so he took the X on swifts and a set of 18x9.5 Work's and said he was passing people like nothing. He seems to really love them.

I'm still debating on coilovers vs springs. I probably will never track, and I only want a little drop for appearance, but need to keep as much clearance as possible (driveway from hell at my house). I think I'd be happy with springs, I secretly desire camber plates, and the ability to adjust the springs from street soft, to track stiff, IF I ever got a weekend off and could track the car.

What would everyone's opinions be for this? Still stick with the GSR OE struts with Swifts or GTWorks or an entry level coilover?

so far from all the springs out their only to jump out a lot (Swift Spec-R springs) plus got a damm good quote from Mike with (Touge Factory). the other big one GTworks springs. i fund tons of good reviews and feed back, it was close for both of the springs but at the end it was Swift Spec-R for me, good luck

I think you made the right decision OP. I will probably switch to the Spec-Rs next year. Now I need to figure out how I can fix my nightime visibility because this rake is killing my HID FOV.
