3. Looking to get my ride softer but not with a loss in handling ...do you guys think these are a good match for what I am looking for?

I don't plan on tracking the car, but hell I used to go all the time and who knows. I wanted something I could do both, get a decent ride when not tracking and stiffen it up for when and if I do...

1.) Why Swift spring upgrade? Because they are more compliant at a higher spring rate which makes them more comfortable.

2.) Once you drive on a set of 12k/11k Swift springs you will wonder why factory was set the way it was. Don't forget a Hotchkis swaybar for the front only.

3.) The jury for me is still out on this one. So far so good. It is way better for comfort. I am dialing in the shocks and the handling appears to be better also. I will know more how I feel after Zdayz this year.
