If you are considering the Hotchkis (the other springs I have experience with)...you owe it to yourself to pay the extra $$$ and go with the Swifts. HUGE difference.

here is my VIII RS with swifts wearing worn neovas 245/40/17, so it makes the wheel well. swifts arent a bad option been running since last july. thinking of doing robispec basic kit with my swifts, or kw v3 soon.
with all the swift threads there might have to be a mega merge.

ashumo, thanks for posting pics! I'm in the process of installing my bronze wheels and had no clue how red lugs + bronze rims + white evo looks.. I picked up a set of red ray's lugs hoping that it would look decent. Now I know it looks awesome =)

What kind of handling improvements have you felt with the Swift front & rear swaybars? I am thinking about installing them along with the Swift springs on my MR.

I have those springs on my car. Like the other saids the ride difference is excellent. You really can't feel a difference when driving around town, they feel just like stock.
However, soon as you start pushing the car -- autox, road course, etc -- you'll notice how much better the springs are over stock. I especially like that they are a linear spring. You can definitely feel what the car is doing with these springs -- good purchase for sure!
