Yeah mine definitely settled as well. I "think" it was almost a half inch in back but I found I hadn't rotated the bottom spring isolator all the way around so that may have caused my issue. On the front, they settled about 1/16th max. I'll double check in a week since they've only been on the car for three weeks. All springs are going to settle under weight, including the Swifts.
Besides the linearity of the spring throughout their compression and decompression stroke, one also has to look at force rate per mm of travel or how quickly they achieve their stated rate. I know Rana's using chromium steel which is cold forged and brag about their linearity as well. I'm just curious if the actual coil diameter on the swifts is any different or if there's any weight benefit.
I haven't looked into it in depth but I heard they don't make a 10kg spring for the OEM rear spring location. Is that why you went with 11k?
