Moving on from Swift Springs
 
I've had swifts for the last few years and while I've loved the improvement over stock and the 1" drop, I've relocated to a city with worse roads.
On the other hand, I'm actually pretty close to some tracks now, and will likely start tracking the car once spring comes around.

Until then, some roads are pretty jarring and ramps into parking lots here are pretty steep. Looking to get a coilover setup that would allow me to raise the car up a little bit more for the winter and be at least as comfortable as the Swifts+oem setup I have now.

Currently looking the most at KW V3's and Tein MonoSports. The KW's seem to be the most comfortable coilover setup, but I'm drawn to the linear springs and monotube construction of other coilovers.

Would I regret not getting linear springs once I start tracking the car more? Or even on weekend runs? Never had a car with progressive springs before, but I've always heard that linear springs are easier to work with and more suitable for harder driving.
And with the MonoSports, would they be noticeably more jarring than the Swifts over cracks and bumps in the road?

Why not look into getting a cup kit? You'd have the height adjustment of the coilovers with the ability to raise it up for speed bumps and ramps then lower it back down once you're clear.

In my ideal setup, I'd have them on my fronts. Gotta consider budget though.
Between comfort, handling performance, and being lower, having a lower ride height is my lowest priority. I'd be ok having it set higher until I move to a city with smoother roads.

Each time you raise or lower the car you will want to get an alignment done..unless u are on bags and can reset the height after u cleared the ramp or watnot

We can build some STANCE Pro Comp 2s for your needs, linear springs will for sure be your best bet on track.

We can use a spring rate that will still ride nice, but allow for some spirited driving also.

Shoot me a PM if you have any questions.
