so back to my question OP, did the swift springs come with instructions on what to do with the bumpstop? also, coilovers do not have to be stiff, you just need to find the right spring rates to start with and adjustable dampers.

for this car i think i'd look for something aroung 8-9kg to start with (425-500lbs/in) for street use.
The instructions are in English.
The lowering springs are 10 kg in the front and 10.5 in the rear.
And also the instructions said nothing about cutting bumpstops.

Coilovers are not necessarily stiff because of the spring rates. A lot of them are stiff simply because they are valved much stiffer than what OE shocks are valved at. On top of that a lot of them uses a pillow ball top mount with a solid machined aluminum bottom bracket. The rubber bushings, and the rubber spring mounts that the OEM struts have is what makes the ride comfortable.
I retain all of that with these springs.
