Since H&R was too low and would answer a single question, I went with Swift. I'm not sure if i'm going to put the stock springs back on after I test it with the Bilstein's but I definitely don't want to spend crazy money or hours of modification for a proper alignment.

Now i'm wondering of the Nismo kit wouldn't have been the perfect choice for me. It's not roadster/vert specific but it's stiffer with a drop that won't affect alignment and I could still clear parking lot stops, speed bumps and dips.
The main purpose of vert specific springs is to ensure that handling maintained or increased. Verts have a different weight distribution than coupes, we are a little heavier in the back. Due to this, a different ratio between the front springs and rear springs is needed to keep handling optimum.
