I guess I will have to see myself next week!

I don't know how to explain it other than the way they describe how they are built (cold-formed, custom material, fewer coils) the springs are a progressive/linear combo, not just either one or the other. The result is stock like ride over uneven surfaces but flat in the corners.

**** roads just seem to not feel as bad as the stock setup did. You can definitely feel the ride is stiffer going over large bumps, but it's not harsh at all. This is how it should feel from the factory, you will not regret buying these.

Very much appreciated, it would be great if the car felt firmer through undulations especially when pushing the car. I know I won't regret it!

That is a swift's mistery. They just perform that way. At first I thought the spring rates that they claimed were off, so I have dynoed some of their springs, and their claimed rates were right on the dot, so I still dont know why they give that feel.

btw... I tested the coilover springs.
