Swift or Eibach springs?

[NoirFrostV]

Want to install some lowering springs on my ct5v BW. I see the two main choices are swift or eibach. Could anyone tell me which is the better choice? It’s just a street driven car no tracking.

Also, any good tech sheets on changing the springs on these cars? I couldn’t find any write ups or YouTube videos. I want to do it myself I just need a good guide.

It's a desert of info about lowering springs, same with spacers.

Yeah seems to be not very common to do so on these cars. Refined Performance touts working directly with swift to develop their springs for the BW which is enticing. Wish KW made their height adjustable springs for our cars. The fixed ones tend to lower the front more than I like, leading to a raked look.

Swift springs on my 5V. Highly recommend!!

Looks great! I think I will do Eibach (slightly less stiff than Swift) and figure out a good spacer set-up. Once I do, I will share all info.

Honestly it drives so smooth. Totally a tribute to the suspension on these cars. Im extremely happy with it.

Did you do the spring install or your local shop?
