Yes and yes... I'm sure they are great if you can find an alignment guy that can get it all straight. It seemed to make the rear harder to adjust for toe and camber. My rear wheels were offset by a 1/4" from one side to the other... I wouldn't put mine back on. If you get anything else, get mid links or toe links if you're doing coil overs. Then you can lock out the eccentric toe bolts too. Mid links are on my list...

NORAIN thank you! Ok heres what Im going to get, tell me if im wrong: swift springs and konis: Front A arm: Rear camber arm: Toe bolts: Ecentric lockout bolts? and thought you cant use mid links with springs? And I dont need toe arm as im just going to be on springs as said in post #2 right?

No problem... Your list looks good. Get the lock out bolts, and you don't want toe links. Mid links are for springs, toe links are for coil overs. I'm not positive that Spec R's have a 2.5" bottom that's required for the SPL's . Maybe synolimit can answer that for you. They both replace the OEM spring bucket. PM me if you have any other questions or when you're ready to get aligned. OEM alignment specs don't work so good after lowering.
You should get some spacers too, if your on sport Rays. It really finishes off the stance. A must in my book.

make lock out bolts! $72 for the 10.9 $1 bolts at advanced auto is insane! and the plates are just 1.33" by 1.33" plates of aluminium with a 0.46" hole drilled in the center. anyone can make these!

toe links are for TRUE coils...didnt want confusion there.

youre right spec'rs are normal OEM size. swift racing linear springs come in 3 different sizes and the 65mm or 2.5" ones fit into the SPL mid links. also they come in like 10 different lengths. the 6-7" are fine.
