Swift or Eibach Euro Spec Springs (I can't decide)

[matthew_conda]

Hi everyone, I am looking to install springs on my 24 MT. Right now I am between swift or the eibach euro and I have done tons of reading and looking at pics but I still can't decide. I do plan on adding the maxton v2 front lip and v3 side skirts in the near future, I also have 15mm and 18 mm spacers on the way.

Some of my concerns are:
- If I go w eibach wishing I went lower and got the Swift and vice versa wishing I went for a higher ride height and got eibachs if i go w swift
- Want to keep the daily drivability of the car (not scrape on everything but I still am going to angle on speed bumps etc.)
- Not sure which of these has the better ride quality (I have no current plans of tracking the car, just some spirited driving)

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, (I have been contemplating on which one to purchase for 2 weeks straight lol) thank you!

Euro. If you are doing this yourself(not difficult) you can always try both. Springs are not very expensive.

swift are noticeably stiffer than the euros. with euros you'll still be squatting and nose diving

if you've been debating for so long.. maybe adjustable springs like HKS?

Great advice! Stiffer if you know what height and spring rate you want. Otherwise, adjustable would eliminate a lot of hassles down the rode, if/when other things are added to the car.

I kept mine stock with the v2 splitter and milder spacers. No regrets. I've lowered plenty of cars in the past and knowing the potential side effects of doing just lowering springs I decided against lowering my current cars.

Neither, do Whiteline.

Whiteline needs to sponsor you at this point lol

I went with swift. The drop looks so nice

I feel like there are two of us with these springs. Swift felt a bit too low and the Euro needed just a bit more, for my taste.

Between whiteline and swift the drop difference seems 0.0189”. So they look the same but swift is stiffer

HKS. The height adjustment solves your height issues. You may be able to swap in springs (like most coilovers) if you feel a setup is to soft or stiff.

Adjustments also introduce problems though. If you are not doing the install then you need to take it back to a shop every time you want to change it. So there’s that.

Couldn’t agree more. You’ll find a height and leave it anyways.

Get the euro if you want subtle. Get swift or Whiteline or anything else if you want aggressive. H&R is a bit funky on the rear, might stay away from that one.
