My rear springs arrived and was installed Dec 20th. Just had time to load it up. Was installed at Charles' shop in San Diego. The car rides much noticeably smoother. The metals used on these swifts are outstanding. Compare the two. Better material, it is lighter, stronger, longer travel before potential binding. This is what makes Swifts a good upgrade. Stock is 10k Swifts was 11k and rides better. Then again, damping adjustments also make a difference. When I had my H&Rs there were signs of binding when I pulled it out.

End links looked OK so far. Will look into replacing these later in the year.
