Stance coilovers with Swift Springs

I've been on Stance coilovers since June. I was lucky enough to test the pre-production version, which had 7k/7K spring rates. Drop and handling looked and felt good but was a little on the stiff side for me as a DD (7K on smooth roads/track would be OK IMHO) I gave Stance USA my feedback and they did a lot of road testing on my car with various spring rates, and ended up with 6K/6K being a good balance. They even tested each shock on the dyno, and confirmed that they were appropriate for the weight of the car. I just had a chance to fit the final production version with the optional Swift springs 6K/6K. I did notice a difference immediately. The handling felt just as good but the ride over bumps felt more "supple" even though the spring rates are same. Needless to say I'm very happy with the coilovers. Even better that Stance USA is local to me and the guys there are great to do business with- Always professional, answered all my questions, and always made my installation appointments a pleasure. They are very service oriented and stand by their products.
