They're stiffer, lower, and progressive which means you don't have the amount of suspension travel you actually need to keep the car planted, but because of the stiffness you feel like you're cornering better.

Again I'm talking performance only, i'm sure they're great as a DD and you like the drop.
when i say i expend 70% of my trip in turns... do you think that i take it all the time like a grand pa looool!!! dude!!! shame on you... who have an sport car to drive slow.... BTW i dont need to drive on a track when the street that i use looks like a nurburgring track hahaha!!! of course i know when i do this runs... i dont want hurt no one... anyway they are good springs and everyone can think that they want... but my 2 cents... when you do it use the correct info... if you dont like it well you can use other way... i just mention the Swift Springs cause i buy them and a lot of people use this springs for the track, auto x, etc.... By the way i do my research first to see if they work after read a lot of pages and thread... they are the best for the pocket

I have a sports car to drive it slow. It goes the speed limit to work and around town every once in a while. most of the time it sits in the garage, until i pull it out to use it for auto-x, track,time attack, and this next year i'll attempt a hill climb for the first time. I answered a performance minded question with a performance minded answer. What you feel works for your daily commute is subjective

hahahahahaha!!!! good to you buddy well if this make you feel better i track my car too... like i said... everyone have their opinion.... the reason that i mention that my Z is for daily commute is cause for me the springs are very capable for track use and have the comfort to drive every day...

Im not putting a handgun in the head to anyone... and say hey buy Swift springs or i shoot you.... Im giving my review of something that i install in my Z and of course i take the time to do a research before make the decision to buy it...

I respect your opinion... and I hope you respect mine

If you dont like them... its simple dont install them... what you said are not going to change my mind on my review

Have a nice day dude!!! i hope i dont hurt your feelings

My feelings aren't hurt man. What you choose to do with your car and how you see it are definitely your opinion and up to you.

I just want the OP to have an informed understanding of modification choices since suspension intricacies can be a very complicated thing. There's a lot that goes into it besides a spring.

Happy Friday, and have a good weekend!
