I am stock shocks, ludedude. We have to do a meet next month so you can see and drive my car. To the OP, considering you have aftermarket wheels, your car would look great with the swift rears installed as well. The ride and performance of the springs are very similar to stock. If you have beefier tires, they would ride better which was my experience when I had 275/30. Now that I am on 295/25, the ride is really close to stock.
Just ordered a set of Swifts after seeing this thread. I still would like to check out your car in person though!

Yup, you can check out my car. I bought mine form VIP autosalon and I did not have a pleasant experience. Hope you did not order from them. Are you doin the fronts only like VBB?

I ordered mine from a local shop that I do a lot of business through. They're not a vendor here so I probably shouldn't mention their name here.
I plan on doing the fronts and rears.
Thanks vbb for making the thread that made me spend more money.
Non of these aftermarket springs are stiffer than the OEM spring
If anything they are softer ...
regardless of being a Progressive rate spring its not holding the weight solid of the F like the OEM's - thats where that "bouncy-ness" come from during ride.
A to B to C comparison
Swift to Eibach then Swift to Stock spring
First pic is the Swift sping vs. Eibach Spring - same thickness
then Swift to Stock OEM spring

Glad I could help.
I have heard bad things all over these boards about VIP AutoSalon, so actually I was hoping to find another place that stocks and sells them. Figs? Random eBay store. I guess I'll figure it out.

I'm only dropped in the front with Eibach springs. No complaints here. Perfect drop. Now, the front and rear gaps looks equal (about 2 fingers). Also, the ride is a bit softer in the front and performance wise, feels a little better as well.
Agree. It corners better. Eibach in front and Fsport sway bar in the rear. The car is perfectly balanced when driven hard. With eibachs in front, absolutely no problems with alignment, with drop only .7 inch, the shock life will not get as affected vs 1 inch drop of Swiffts.
