You can buy Stance coil overs now with swift spring upgrades. Had them on my 370z and the difference was night and day! That's what I plan to do eventually for the stang

Make sure you cut the Eibach bumpstops down or your ride quality will be the same no matter what shocks/struts you run. My car was sitting on the Eibach stops at ride height. I cut them down immediately because ride would have been rougher than normal.
You have the Sportlines?

I just finished installing this setup on my car yesterday, swift spec-r springs with Koni yellows and I also installed MM camber plates. The car feels so much better now, I don't have to wait for the chassis to settle when I change direction, the ride quality isn't much stiffer than stock on the middle setting for the shocks and all brake dive and lift on power is gone. I love them.
Well said. The Swifts really perform. And combined with the Konis really work great together. I hope with my new wheel combo (not sure what combo yet) that the wheel gap does not get worse. Want to stay with 19s.

Swift springs is the shizzziiittt. Absolutely amazing. I wish they gave us a bit more drop than an inch. 1.4-1.3 would be perfect. Here is the link with the Spec-R info. http://www.swiftsprings.net/products/sport-compact/spec-r.html

I said the exact same thing to my friend. The drop is really nice but if it was just a tiny tiny bit more it would be perfect.[/QUOTE]I talked with Swift about getting custom springs. I might pull the trigger depending on wheel setup. :thumbsup:

If you like it better that way that's you preference but their front bumpstops were designed like that for a reason. Its actually common with many setups where they use the bumpstop as part of the total spring rate at ride height.

could just add ground control coil-overs to lower it. I believe sport lines are a progressive spring which can be kind of unpredictable in handling depending on how hard you push the car. Nice review. I may go back to Koni again after all.

I would like to get a solid review from a member with Koni/Sportline combo after they have had a chance to put some miles on them.

Nice review. I have been debating if I should put some of the Sportline springs on mine when I get around to installing a set of Koni shocks. Not sure if it would cause any rubbing issues though. Currently have the Pro Kit springs which are a nice comfortable ride but not normally a big fan of progressive springs.

Ground control is still working on their kit. It would be awesome with the Koni's.

Yep! Plus they will have a combo with the Koni yellows. The coilover kit will also usually have options for fitting to stock shocks or others, in particular with the front strut.
Well I am interested in hearing more about this. Eibach will be getting a call from me tomorrow. Thanks.

I had koni struts/ground control coilovers/eibach springs on my '08 si. Would do it again with linear springs on this car.

So with that setup you could swap the Eibach springs for another brand?
