Why not 350Z Swift springs over 350Z H-Techs ???

On paper the spring rates for the Swift 350Z is the closest to the Gcoupe's OEM spring rate (336/364 vs 314/342). Benefit: No need to buy new shocks or make other mods. Question: So why is it more of us don't have them? Its like everyone who wants to avoid suspension mods go with Z H-Techs. Can anyone speak of their experience with the 350Z Swift springs? Can you guys post pics as I could not find any using the search button?

Thanks

Mostly b/c the drop will be too much with the swifts. The advertised drop is .8" and .6" on a 350z. That means 1.3" and 1.1" on a G35 coupe. The H-techs have less drop and similar spring rates. If I was to go as low as the Swifts, I would definately want stiffer springs than OEM too.
