Swift springs after 1 year

Can anyone who's had swift springs on their car for over a year tell me how the car has held up? I've got an 18 m4 comp, with swifts sitting in the garage for 8 months now. I'm not sure if I want to put them on or not. I'm worried after a year or so the car will ride like crap. I know, this is a definite possibility when buying springs..
is the car bouncy ? Teeth rattling at bumps?
I prefer the stiff ride, always in sport plus across the board. Any insight would be appreciated

I've been running used Swift springs for a year now, and no complaints whatsoever. However the roads here are fairly smooth, and I don't track or drive aggressively

I had them on my 18 ZCP and now have the same set on my 18 M3CS. They ride amazing and I love the look. They don't feel any different now than they did the the day I put them on my comp.

The ride does deteriorate. Takes 1.5yrs or so and gets progressively worse over time, dampers end up getting really loud and small bumps bottom you out.

That's exactly what I'm worried about. I may return them and get coil overs. Thank you for giving me a negative review, Thsts what I'm looking for
