Best performing lowering springs?

[LampRod]

What's the best performance lowering spring for a SI? From others on the forum I heard that its swift springs. Any input would be great thanks.

if you really want to throw your car around corners go for coilovers with rear camber arms
and front camber plates... this car needs front camber badly for serius driving...

The Swift Spec-R sport springs and the White line Lowering Springs have the highest springrates.

I have the Swift kit and they are fantastic while riding better than OEM in most conditions. Definitely firmer, but a lot of bumps that were scary on the OEM springs are practically nonexistent with Swift.

You definitely need camber arms to correct the rear camber, otherwise you overrun the fronts and understeer like nobody's business.

I have pushed my front struts towers in as far as they go and achieved -0.9 front and dialed in the rear to -1.6.

I'm happy with the configuration for road, but if I tracked or did autocross I'd probably want the front camber ball joints to dial up the front some more.

It's Swift springs .They are the only one to have such high springrates and have a higher difference in springrate between the front and rear.Swift springs are also a high quality spring maker and they did great research into finding these spring rates for the SI.

Thanks for the inputs. I will most likely go with the swift springs, ill see how alignment is stock and go from there. Correct me if im wrong but looking for about -1 degrees camber in the front and -2 for alignment for good cornering

I'm debating about the spoon springs myself, most of the things online I've seen on the spoon springs are just on the Type R. I'm not to sure if anyone had installed them on a regular hatch or sedan. I'm going this route in hopes that within the next couple of years Koni does release shocks for our platform or maybe if spoon releases a damper kit.
