GTA owners on springs

Hello all,

I have recently picked up my f80 and I have decided to go with 15mm spacers all around, however I am unsure of which springs to go with. Looking for a moderate drop so I was considering Eibachs, but also like the looks of the Swift spec-R springs.

Does anyone in the GTA area have those (or other) springs installed that I can take a look at?

I'm located in Mississauga but am willing to drive out to check it out.

Eibach's. Love them but moderate for some. I'd rather retain OEM-like ride which these do. Performed perfectly as Mosport this week. Le'me know, I'm in Stoney Creek.

Hi all, I'm picking up my new M4 in a little over a month and considering dropping it a bit with some spacers. This will be my DD year around so I'm looking to close the stock wheel gap a little but still maintain a comfortable ride height throughout the year.

I'm located in Burlington/Oakville area so looking for both product recommendation and a reputable shop to have them installed.

Cheapest prices for parts will always be Alpha Motorsport. Just have to get hold of Mo though.

There are lots of good places to get installed. I've been to pretty much every one of them but high quality work at extremely reasonable price in GTA is probably Apex Motoring. He's probably the Canadian version of MRF Engineering.

Owner's name is Nate and most of the work they do is on +1000Hp Nissan GTRs and Porsches but lots of F80's going there now since he's well versed with turbo cars. His alignment work is also one of the best and only $120, which is why lots of porsche guys are there.

Is it possible to have a meet to see the various drops on springs and feel the ride.

I need to determine which one I'll be going with as well.
