We have personally run these on our car and can set them up correctly for anyone looking to win events, or look good.

I run the Fortune 500 on their FA springs and honestly I can't complain at all. It is adjustable so 4click stiff is = a little stiffer then stock. 8click stiff is a little harder but good for dd drifting :p and 10 clicks=because race car. Haven't gone there, don't really wanna go there with the roads around me.

I'm down 2in+ I think. It looks hella good, but I don't recommend it, the car feels different, not as balanced as factory settings

That's because I doubt you got corner balanced when you installed the coils. Also the stiffer you go, the less grip you will have on the terrible factory tires. You definitely need at least summer performance tires.I noticed that when I tried 6 from full stiff. I'm currently at 8 clicks front/10 clicks rear, but I also like to fling the rear out for shits and giggles.

Swifts - Yes. Roller Bearings - No. They've actually got a new phenolic or plastic spacer that is being used to replace the Roller Bearing Upgrade now.
