If you want better than OEM on a budget, go for it. If you have a little cash to play with, I say pass on coilovers and get a set of Koni yellows plus swift springs.
i already have the Swuft springs and i love them... eventually im going to buy the Koni struts for sure....

i come from an Sti with BC Racing Coilovers and a few more suspension upgrades and trust me when i install the Swift springs on my 2013 Z + Sport Package i fall in love... the call turn perfect, drop was perfect... best springs i ever run on a car....

With hard driving you'll get snap under and over steer. Either keep the stock springs or go to stiffer non-progressive springs...but that's for performance only. if you want a drop that's a different story
Dude i dont know were do you find the info... but you are completely wrong about Swift Springs.... the performance from those springs i cant tell you from my personal experience that work 99% perfect... and im runing just the spring with OEM Struts and SPC rear camber arms.... My car is a DD, i spend 70% of my trip from my house to my work in turns and the other 30% on highway... the car run just perfect... the drop its perfect.... everything its perfect.... even making Touge hahaha!! just do a research and you would see what im talking about I know read somewhere that people use the KW coilovers with Swift Springs... i think was on a build on a coverage from Speedhunters...
