Anybody track the Swift Spec-R springs yet?

I'm looking for a track review on the Swift springs. I'd like the keep the EDC and from the spring rates and lowering amount, the Swift's seem like a pretty good option. Just curious if anybody can give a good review of these versus stock ZCP suspension.

I would like some data on these as well. Maybe not a correct observation but they raise both F&R springrates by ~120lbs over OEM. Now with the motion ratio of the stock suspension this makes the wheel rates substantially higher in the F vs R. So essentially it's shifting the balance of the car slightly and putting more weight on the front end since it lowers more in the front? Could that be the reason for the added higher front spring rates? Seems like these and most other springs could possibly induce more understeer...I could be completely wrong though. Definitely wouldn't mind some technical feedback on this. I have been hovering to purchase a set.

I ordered a set (on back-order it seems) but I'm a bit nervous. I've searched, but can't find anyone that has tracked these. I'll put them on, along with some camber plates and see what happens.

I sold mine to a guy on here locally. Not sure if he had track intentions.
