Default Buying Springs.. Espelir or Swift.

As the title says, i'm in the process of getting springs for my car and i have narrowed it down to Espelir or Swift. So if you own either one of these 2 brands please post any information you would like me to know. btw the springs are gonna be installed on the stock struts/shocks for the moment.

The car is never at the track only dd. Please post pics if available.
thanks!

i was thinking ebay but its really hard to tell the original from the knock offs thats i'll rather go with a known seller and spend the extra money.
thanks!

^x2. my back springs setteled a lil more since those pics i currently have no wheel gap in the back at all. You will have no problems with the oem 16's or ap2 17's.

I think you will be very happy with them

Espelirs will give you a better drop.

Swift is more of a competition type spring.

Since I don't track, and just DD, i'd pick Espelirs ASD. Also, because I had them lol
