Coilovers with swift springs or regular springs?
What's up guys, I'm going to get some fortune auto coilovers soon but can't decide if to get swift springs or not? I daily my car spring, summer, fall. Never going to a track.
I've been searching and reading posts about swift springs with coils and most drivers say they get it for the track, not really needed for daily street driving.
Let me know what are your opinions. Thanks!

Swift is the way to go.
I've got their MSC-1 way adjustable set for my Aristo and I only just got the car back after install (RCAs, front upper arms and rear tie rods still need doing before full geo) and I find them extremely comfortable with 14k front and 12k rear Swift springs. Over huge potholes, you do feel them but it's firm and controlled and not "crashy" as it was with my previous stock suspension and then Swift Springs with Bilstein B8 shocks.
General consensus is the Swift springs are more compliant at the same rate as other springs though Hyperco are also at the top of their league. I believe FA use their own spec Chinese manufactured springs and even suggest upgrading to Hyperco or Swift.
Go Swift and don't look back!

If the funds allow, its a no brainer. I only wish I got mine when I initially installed my coilovers. For reference, I have Tein CS v1s. They originally came with 10k front and 8k rear. So soft that I was driving around with my coils on full stiff 100% of the time. Swapped them for 12k front and 10k rear swift springs. Still soft but the car feels a lot more controlled. Personally it felt like the compression and rebound characteristics improved greatly. Lastly, the car is just more comfortable to me overall. I can turn down the stiffness for an OEM ride (so wife doesn't complain) but still handle corners with a lot more confidence that before.
Long story short, GET THEM. You wont regret it. Only thing is that you wont be able to compare before / after but just take our word for it.
