Dude, I would imagine calling the company of the coilovers you rock and ask them if they offer different spring rates. I know with my Tien's you can get custom spring rates if need be.

Yes, Swift is an option.

Tanabe also makes PRO210s (http://www.tanabe-usa.com/springs/sp...ions.asp?id=10)

I can get both, if you need a price on anything.

Hypercoils, the best. And that's coming from people who have actually tested them on a spring rater, compared to eibach, etc. I have also heard good things about Swift, but nothing proving or disproving it in a cold, hard engineering way.
