I haven't driven it yet with the Forgestars, but I did have OEM before the Swifts. My first impressions, are that they are great. You hear on this site that they are better (softer) then OEM on normal driving, but I don't agree with that; I think they are equal or maybe a smidge stiffer then stock. As for aggressive driving, they are definately stiffer, less body roll. I like the overall stance of the vehicle a lot, and the ride is great. Having driven on many different mfgrs of springs over my lifetime (even owned a speed shop for 5 years), I think Swift has a done a great job on developing these springs - especially since they are made for the OEM shocks, which in the long run is more affordable. Even though they cost more out of the box, overall they are cheaper because they don't require new shocks (they should market that!). I think Swift has a home-run here, and you can tell because everyone who is buying just springs is going that way.
