Default Thinking of switching from current Swift springs to H&R on my Nismo

I've had my Swift setup for about a year, and while I absolutely love the ride and handling, I never fell in love with the stance of the car. See pic of my setup below:



I'm not a fan of the saggy rear end look where the front is higher. So I'm thinking about changing these for the H&R springs. This car belongs to member Brandon3434 and I got this picture from the Nismo picture thread:



Perfect drop IMO

I currently have the SPL or SPC rear arms (I forget which ones I got) and 20mm spacers rear and 15mm spacers front. Swift seems to be the popular spring choice here by far and there aren't too many people on H&Rs. While I love the look of the drop, I'm not sure how the ride (comfort-wise) and handling will differ. Coilovers are not an option as I don't want to spend $2k for a quality set.

I read somewhere that the Swift springs were designed to work with the OEM dampers and I'm almost sure that's not the case with H&R. Will this mean that my ride quality will suffer? The H&R drop in the front, on paper, is about .03 more than the Swift - that's pretty significant.

I'm really just looking for feedback on the swap. Is Swift really that much more superior of a spring compared to H&R? Will I regret ditching the Swifts? Any issues with H&Rs on oem struts/dampers? Thanks
