beware of megan springs, there was a post a while back about how they suck and how swift is so much better.

no front camber plates.

otherwise... the shocks are MUCH better than 90% of the "coilover" setups out there.

imo, shocks are more important that anything else in a good suspension setup.
You bring up some good points. I did see the post about the megan springs. I'll contact megan and ask them about their quality control (or lack off). I think with just lowering springs it will keep the cost down and allow better wheel options once I get budget.

I'm not sure I really need camber plates as the camber bolts should get me close to where I need to be. I already have spc performance tension control rods, toe, ruca, and traction rods which can also help me dial everything in.

I'll have to check if swift makes an off the shelf lowering spring for the S14. Thanks for your support.
