Replace your Spec B top hats with USDM LGT (KYB-style) top hats and you won't need saggy butt spacers. Spec B top hats are only to be run with Bilsteins and JDM springs. Konis use USDM or KYB-style...

Swifts are JDM springs, which means they are intended to work with Bilstein-style top hats and their rated drop in front is based on the use of such top hats. If you're going to go with Swifts, run...

IME, the weak point running Stage 2 is not the stock VF40 turbo, but the stock intercooler. I blew the seams in mine running a fairly conservative Cobb Stage 2 ACN (Arizona, California, Nevada) 91...

STI pinks with Bilsteins result in a .6 in (15 mm) drop. You'll need Bilstein HDs and Spec B top hats though. That's what I'm running. It will save you the trouble of hacksawing through your stock...

No brainer. Keep the LGT wagon and do some modest suspension modifications. LGT 5MT wagons are rarer than hen's teeth.

There are are 05-09 LGT sedan and LGT wagon Swifts. I believe the only difference is in the length of the rear springs. Google for vendors. I came up with quite a few vendors on e-Bay.

Swifts, like pinks, are designed for use with Bilstein style front top hats, but are rated at 1.2" front drop/1" rear drop vs. .6" drop F/R for the pinks. Don't run a spring that's rated for the...

You can mix and match JDM springs w/ KYB-style top hats and USDM springs w/ Bilstein-style top hats, but your front ride height won't reflect the rated drop for that spring. That's why people who...

You shouldn't mix and match JDM style springs with USDM top hats. The Swifts are JDM springs and, thus, the rated front drop is based on the use of a Bilstein-style top hat. If you use the Koni...

Yes or swap out all four for a set of wagon-specific Swifts or Pinks. The JDM vs. USDM top hat issue only affects the front ride height.
