    Thanks for all the great feed back. I think Doug said he has the Swifts on his car and the TSWs on his sons and likes them both. I'll check out the other springs mentioned.

    I'll take you up on the drive Jeff after we thaw out again.

    I know I'll need the adjustable rear arms and an alignment. Already factored that in.

    Any other feed back is welcome. I want to do it all before MOTD.

    Do you have a larger rear swaybar on Walter yet?

    If you want adjustable arms. Like I told you before... You can take my uppers for a good price if you take them off and put my OEM back on. Uppers are the same as lower. They are Tarett engineering and red to match your accents.
    I say good price... These are $300 new for two. Hey that rhymed! We can work something out if you want them.

    Seth we'll need to discuss the bars. I do have the 19mm rear sway bar.

    So I ordered the TSW springs only to find out they are not available and probably won't be. At least not anytime soon.

    So now I need to rethink what to get. I thought about the swifts but I am having trouble finding them for anything less than $350.

    So I have been considering Whiteline, Alta, & tein h tech. Any other ideas?

    One option: Save your money for the Swifts because the ones above are not even in the same league. Yes they are that good and worth every dollar. :Thumbsup:

    JCW springs. Send our friend Steven a pm at eMINIparts.com he can set you up. Plus the JCW springs are red & we all know that adds 20 HP.

    I sent a request on their site. I may just wait for the right stuff.

    JCW springs are not the wrong stuff. A whole JCW suspender kit would be all the right stuff. Just my .02.... :D

    I have a set of JCW springs with about 25,000 miles on them for 100.00 buck plus shipping if you'd like. Only reason I removed is because I upgraded to Swifts.

    I need a larger font, that or learn to read better: At first glance on the phone, thought that the OP had a question about suppositories :)
