Can't share as much as the OP...

"sport line series, approx 1" drop"

They were hesitant to release much. I don't wish to piss anyone off...

I have the spring rates but I have not been authorized to release them as of yet. As soon as I get the OK I will post them.

We agree. Swift has one of the best sport and linear rate coilover springs out there!

I heard that they will be out in September from a vendor... Hopefully this comes into fruition.

I am quite satisfied as they are but a slight adjustment in spring length is being made. There will be no change in rate. These springs were tested at Buttonwillow this passed weekend and were a noticeable improvement over the standard setup.
