Lowering & Spacers for Nismo

So how do the Swift springs compare to the Nismo springs in handling, stiffness, and ride quality?

Mine is lowered on KW V1 coilovers. My wheel spec is
19x9.5 +17 front
19x11 + 10 rear

Nismo wheels spec is
19X9.5 +40 front
19X10.5 +23 rear

So it's like adding 23mm spacers up front and 20mm in the back.

I put my Swift springs on yesterday. I noticed a marked difference in ride. Before the car felt jouncy. Just constantly bouncing around but now with the Swifts, the car feels planted and stable. The car feels and rides much better. I drove on the same road and the difference is really noticeable. The was always a handler but now with the increased stability, I feel more confident in braking and turning.
