Judging by this information, would it be safe to say for those wanting to maintain the same balance as OEM, that the Swift springs would be the way to go for AP2s?

I'd like to order some springs to lower and stiffen up the handling just a bit to improve handling performance. Expert opinions appreciated.
i'm getting the swift springs. From the specs it looks like it will stiffen the rear and keep the front almost stock? seems like a balance springs

Well, it's been about a month or so since I've installed the swifts springs, and I'm LOVING the new ride quality. The front sits flatter in corners, and the rear definitely soaks up bumps better. The car looks amazing dropped now - it's settled about .5" lower than in my sig - about 1.5" total drop all the way around from where it was.

Yea! Seems like the Swifts are the way to go for real improvement over stock, while maintaining the front and rear balance in lbs/inch. I hope more AP2 owners with Swift springs can chime in.

I just installed my skunks and they are no where near what i expected! I have 2.5 finger gap all the way around! I hope it settles down some more.
