But like I've said numerous times, everyone's tolerance for what is acceptable is different. For me, bouncing up and down on the freeway is embarrassing on these cars.

If I was going to do a spring only drop, it would be Swift. They are linear. They don't settle. And their drop is pretty moderate, giving the dampers a tiny bit more room to work.

That being said, I'll never ever do just springs alone again. My motto is, "Getting a great suspension set up isn't a waste of money; it's getting a bad suspension set up that is a waste of a car."
Thanks! I'm leaning toward Swift as well for the reasons you stated. I think ultimately I'm still hesitant to go spring-only knowing it isn't the best way forward. We'll see.
