Here is my set-up: Neuspeed Koni shocks with Neuspeed Sport springs. Fronts are on neutral perch, rears are all the way down to bottom perch.

 

Koni Yellows on lowest perch paired with Eibach ProKit

 

Tein Basic Coilovers on the recommended settings

 

Tein S-Tech springs (Front 1.7, Rear 1.3, but obviously the real drop is more) + Tokico blues:

rear drop

 

Tanabe Front Springs 1.7"
Aspec Rear Springs 1.3-1.5"? Not Sure

 

Tein CST, Pics right after install.

Front has a 4 threads left on adjustment, Rear is maxed out, but has settled to no tire gap.

I love it. Its great for DD and for twisty fun. I would suggest running a rear sway bar.

 

tein ss,full drop

 

18x8 wheels, progress RSB, no camber kits

tein basics: zero threads remaining in front; two threads remaining in rear.

Swift/Neuspeed koni review

Just want to share a spring/shock combo setup.

Springs are Swift sport spring, they are linear spring.
Shocks are Neuspeed Koni.

The Swift's will drop the car 1.3" all around.
The Koni's can be set +2/-2 from the middle perch.

Front springs and shocks is set at the middle perch.
Rear springs and shock is set on the 2nd to the last perch.

Shock damper is set at 180 degree all around.

Rides and absorb shocks from road imperfection just like stock.
Handles better then stock, no nose dive from hard stopping.
You will not get that bouncing ride like, if you know what i mean.

Cost, this set up will cost more then your basic coilover setup.
But if you want linear springs like the stocks, with a lower stances and a lifetime warranty shocks from koni's this is a good option to consider.

Here is some pictures.

Thanks!
