How do the Swift lowering springs ride? Are they progressive or linear?

Basically I plan to either get Swift, H&R, or Eibach lowering springs with Koni shocks.

What are the spring rates of the swift springs?

I just got the Espelir ASD lowering Springs.

Front 5.3 kg/mm - 313.60lbs
Rear 7.0 kg/mm - 392.00lbs


They ride and look great on the OEM shocks.

Have you checked what the OEM spring rates are. Are the Swifts softer than OEM?

Espelirs are definitely the best bang for the buck IMHO

A couple of people have PM'd me asking about pics with the swift springs and stock shocks. I just went out and took them one day at work, so they aint great, but you can get the idea. Not real severe drop, just under an inch I think, but I am real happy with the ride and appearance. I think the Espelirs drop much more.
