I doubt you will notice the difference between two different makes of spring that are the same rate but if you want a different rated spring then what the bc coils come with go for swift.

I doubt whether it's really valid after everyone else's opinions, but I'm running BC BR RA's (pretty sure, no camber tops on rear), and I've never had an issue. Went from stock Gen 2, to Gen 3, to the BC's, and the difference is MASSIVE! Running 12 damper front, and 14 rear, with Whitelines running mid-stiff both ends. Handles like a dream in the hills, and works well for track, steps out a little, but it's predictable and easy to control! Never bottomed out with the 6 and 8kg springs, and I was taking it out 3 or 4 times a week til recently.
From the research I've done, they're excellent value for money, good quality and will have a good life (I bought mine second hand at a year old).
 
Don't really know if I could justify going the RH's myself, but it really depends on what you, personally, are after. The differences will just allow you to be a little more anal about your alignment, and may get a little more life out of them. If you're only weekending or tracking it, lifetime isn't really a huge issue regarding general wear and tear though :)

Thanks for the input guys!

i went with the RAs with 5kg front and 8 rear, and very happy!
however, steering feels a bit light? and i have no pwr steer..
i think its because my whiteline sway bar is at full hard.. ahaha!
might drop it to mid.

the lighter steering is probably due to a change in camber or caster since you fitted the coliovers

camber went out to 2.5 neg
its was .5 postive so that explains that!

Anyway!
might bring it down to soft/medium, as it does not like the wet much ahahahha!

best place to experiment is on the track, Im sure a few of the guys at the MR2 trackday challenge will help you fine tune it.
 
No I didnt buy the beams, I wish!! I recommended it to a friend and he took one look at the photos and spec and put a deposit on it! Cant wait to see it.
