Smile Coilover set up help (please give feedback)

I've tried for the past 2 days to find out personal reviews of anyone who has install helper/assist Springs, particularly the Swift ones on their coilovers (I have BC Racing BR) want to know if it's worth it for my daily driver and if it will actually help make the ride more comfortable? Thanks I appreciate it, and I know your supposed to search before posting but I just can't find good information from personal stories.

My Tanabe coilovers have helper springs up front and they ride very comfortable. Sorry I can't be more help.

Did they come with them or did you have them put on? If so how much did they cost, and how much was installation?

If you want a softer ride just tone down the spring rate.. Your BC should be at 12/10 right now just go down to 10/8 with swift springs.

The original point of the 'upgrade' to swift springs is for lighter higher quality springs. Swift is known for their light weight and reliable spring (suppose to never change, when some springs get old the spring collapse a little causing your spring rate to change).

However, you can upgrade it to whatever you want.. I think 10kg front 8kg rear is what you're after.

If you call swift they're going to ask you for the number on the spring. when you look at your black BC spring there should be writing on it.. write down that number and give it to swift.

I think my BC have the standard 10/8, not the 12/10. I was referring to the addition of assist springs not upgrading with the helpers sorry for the confusion. Trying to make my set up smoother for my daily driving. Any advice on that? I appreciate your help.
