I find that many who install sportlines often show how great they look but seldom talk about the ride quality. I had a set on my 2010 gt for about a week and yeah the car looked great but the ride quality sucked. i swichted to pros and they remained on my 2010 gt till i traded it in!

I am going to hold onto them until I make up my mind.

That could be because they never had adjustable dampers. I have the Konis and am going to make adjustments today after alignment. Put about 20 miles on them yesterday. The swifts I took off were dialed in. Much better ride. They are linear these Sportlines are progressives.

I have Sportlines on mine paired with Ford Racing dampers, and the ride quality is great! Plus, I track the car, and it is well composed and predictable on the track. It will easily pull over a g.

Hey Doc, what are the spring rates and drops of your Swifts? Is this chart trustworthy? http://www.swiftsprings.net/products/sport-compact/spec-r.html

Did you find the fronts to be stiff? Since the 279 lb/in rate seems pretty high compared to the other brands.

Damn that looks HOT!

What size tires are those? Kinda looks like you did the same thing that I did with remounting the stock 275 rears on the front.

I have the Pros and with the stock Pirellis (275/45, 255/45) I liked how the car sat on those tires. But since, I've changed wheels and tires and am running the 35 sidewall in the back (and will be on the fronts soon enuf) and now I kinda wish the car sat a little lower.

So far I am not feeling it. With the Konis on the rear I am trying to stop the bunny hop. Eibach says the spring rate of 880lbs. in the rear. I just adjusted the rears just now while on the alignment rack and it got worse. Fronts are fine.

So far with 4,000 miles on my car I have had 4 sets of springs. The Swifts I took off yesterday might just be going back on. Or I might try the Steeda extremes. Waiting on reviews. Still waiting and hoping that BMR will come out with lowering springs with more of a drop. If they do I will be first on waiting list.
