being real here, the swifts are head and shoulders above the other options from a dynamics perspective.


The tein's are prone to sagging after a while. Most guys I've seen running them are dealing with sag 6-12 months in.

Eibachs are fine, but there's a reason most guys dump them for something else.


I was initially scared of the swifts due to DD-ability of the drop, but I was very glad I went with them. I swapped them out for V3's, and even with that direct comparison, the swifts teamed with the stock tokicos held their own very well.
