I'll also say that teamswift.net is a good place to browse the subject, they would definitley know the subject.
Maybe I'll just look for a Swift GT? Sounds like a sweet little car!

They are pretty sweet. There was one for sale near me recently. Looked like a metro with fancy wheels and ground effects and 4wh disc brakes. I think they have like 100hp, which doesn't sound like much, but they are light, and my metro only has 55 hp. I've heard they corner like they are on rails too .

I have a 95 multi-slammer that I just lowered. 1.25 coils up front, 1.5 in the rear. I really surprised a nice low tailgateing Volvo V70 the other day on some real tight s turns. It was really fun to loose the Volvo and still get 50 mpg.
