H&R will drop lower. Reds drop and mine are just about dead on, if not dead on. H&R will "look" better I suppose. Depending on what "looking" good is to you. Swifts will undoubtably be better performing. Personally I see consistant drops w Swifts.

Yeah, going any lower than the Swifts will just compromise performance as well as drivability on stock struts.

Mine was actually about 8mm lower than the "expected" swift drop before I swapped my rims, then another 26mm lower with the new tires.
