The spring rates between the original front powertrix coils and the swifts are the same at 12k. The difference is in the build and material used. Long term, the swifts will be more consistent, sag/bind less, retain it's shape, etc. compared to the stock powertrix coils (look at the two springs and compare). For those who care about weight, the swifts are lighter. For the rears, the powertrix coils are at 10k. The swifts rear will come it at 10.5 or 11k. I may or may not feel the slight difference once installed, I do not know and will have to see when it is installed in November. I am not clear about what you meant regarding your last question.
