No chance. The Swifts are waaay better than the stockers. I drive the car a little bit more carefully now, but it's not really all that much different than at stock height. I never drag anywhere. I added spacers last weekend and I think the ride is just so superior to stock. It wouldn't have cost Nissan much to drop it a bit, change the spring rate and put it on subsequent model years.
You wouldn't be putting up this post if they had.
A zillion Swift owners can't all be wrong.

Truly appreciate the honest response!
My mistake with my last vehicle was cheap coilovers, that no matter how many hours I spent trying to get them dialed in, it seemed like it was impossible to find an appropriate balance.
I'm in agreement that the Z seems unnecessarily rough at lower speeds just as a daily driver going to/from work/around down.
Sounds like this is a no brainer improvement, with no compromises other than a slight loss of ground clearance, which I'm not worried about as it's not an off road rally car!
Thanks again for taking the time to reply and post photos for us new folk.
