Would you say Spec-R and B8 puts the damping at the edge as well?

The Spec-R on OEM shock pairing was validated at Buttonwillow before the repave (wasn't bottoming out very hard or losing control like some other spring setups). The setup felt quite good on track (surprisingly) hence why I know Swift decided to choose those particular spring rates and drop. It does, however, feel much rougher on the I-5 freeway in some really rough places. Keep in mind, Spec-R is around 1kg/mm more than the Sport springs, which is really designed to be operating in the optimal damping range for the OEM shocks.
So to simply conclude, the B6 and B8 options would actually be a more optimal setup for the Spec-R than the Sport springs. Pair that with camber plates and rear lower control arms and it should be a very potent setup with no need to worry about dialing in damper settings.
