Swift Springs 08+ X Sedan

Well Swift finally came out with the springs for the 08+ X Sedan. I just got word from them today.
The specs are:

Drop
Front 1.3"
Rear 1.0"

Rate
Front 450
Rear 410

I've been waiting for these to come ever since I bought my car in August. I'm gonna check with Lou@Amplified to see what they cost.

I've heard good things about Swift...I only wanted a mild drop on mine, so I'd be ok with it. I just want to take some of that wheel well gap out of it.

+1 I've been looking for more options aside from BC, though I'd prefer coils for the many levels of adjustment

FINALLY. If I ever decide to do anything with the suspension (already have Hotchkis sways), I'm all over these. The Z guys love 'em.

I thought I read that people were bottoming out with the eibach kit (the X kit ending in a 140 or something), and they had to add a spring isolator and spacer. If these are only .1 higher, I would have to make the assumption that they would bottom out as well??? I'd love to get a drop without any of the negatives of a drop. BMW does it everyday on a STOCK vehicle...

I'm gonna guess spring rate makes a difference..
