If you want to PM me instead of us filling up this thread that's cool too haha, (and if you don't mind telling me how much they set you back)
I don't mind clogging up the thread. I don't have the Koni's installed yet -- my schedule has been screwy the past few weeks, so sext Saturday is my target installation day.

I went with Koni because I have used them on several cars, starting with my 1967 Datsun 1600 Roadster I bought in 1978. In my opinion, there is no better shock. My wife's 2001 Echo even has Koni Sport-D on it (I got a smoking deal on them from a Koni dealer and friend). The Swifts I got because I wanted a mild drop and better springs. I almost went Eibach, but heard from a few 370 guys about the Swift and their performance compared to Eibachs. They were right. BTW -- I also have Hotchkis sway bars.

I considered coil-overs (Bilstein) but, again in my opinion, coil-overs are a bit of a hassle for street use and I do not track my car.

I hope this helps.
