Hello everyone!
Billy asked me to come in on this thread and post a little about our coilovers and answer any technical questions.
Unfortunately at this time I do not have a picture of the coilovers because we are out of 350z stock and have some new stock coming in on our next boat shipment. Once that happens I will arrange to have our photographer take some pictures of the coilovers.
As stated before these are "true" coilovers.
Here are some r35 GTR coilovers pictured. The setup is similar in the sense that they are a "true" coilover setup
They are not like the oem design that does not utilize a true coilover setup as pictured here for illustrative purposes.
Our coilovers offer many features and options that are not normally found in coilovers at this price point ($800-$1300) range.
Swift Springs
First off as previously stated you can upgrade your springs to swift springs. We offer swift springs for many reasons. First and foremost we believe that swift offers the best springs on the market. They are not constructed of the traditional silicone chrome spring material that tends to sag over time. Swift incorporates a very advanced alloy that weighs less then traditional silicone chrome. Furthermore swift springs have a superior life span, are more compliant, offer superior stroke and produce less coil noise or coil binding.
Of all those features that I mentioned I would like to say that the fact that they are more compliant then a traditional silicone chrome spring is a huge understatement. It is amazing how different swift springs feel.
Helper "Assist" Springs
I actually just copied and pasted this text from our website since its a great explanation.
Assist springs are designed to repeatedly be fully crushed. Every assist spring crushes to the same height. That allows drivers to change assist springs without resetting the spring perch on coilover without changing ride height.
Features
Our coilovers incorporate some pretty nifty features such as oversized 57mm piston bodies, synthetic shock oil, custom rates and valving.
We also have the ability to rebuild our coilovers at our facility greatly minimizing downtime. Rebuilds usually take about 2-3 days. Furthermore our coilovers get dyno tested at the factory to ensure a properly matched and working set of suspension. Our coilovers are baseline tested at the factory and we have the ability to do more in depth sweep dyno tests at our USA facility.
Testing and Warranty
We put our suspension through the most grueling of environments the race track. The last 2 years we have spent countless hours testing our suspension on our race cars and have worked closely with teams and individuals participating in time attack to figure out what works and what doesn't. This flows over to the customer. We can help you select the best rates and valving for your application. We also offer a very comprehensive 1 year warranty and very fast turn around times. If it breaks we will fix it!
Here is a quick recap of our 2010 racing season

Dyno Plots
Here is a dyno plot of a 350Z coilover (front and rear)
This plot is set at 10 clicks from full soft.
I have also included a more in depth "sweep" plot showing 5 clicks to 30 clicks in 5 click increments. Many coilovers in the price range of the 500 series do not actually have much damping adjustment. As you can see on this RX7 graph our coilovers actually do. Furthermore most manufacterers would never divulge any of this information because they either don't want you to see it or do not even have the capability to provide a graph
If anyone wants a full sweep dyno of the 350z application I will gladly provide it once we get them back in stock.

Helper "Assist" Springs
I actually just copied and pasted this text from our website since its a great explanation.
Assist springs have two functions. The first is the spring adds a progressive rate to the initial portion of the stroke. This progression can add increased comfort is used on a daily driver coilover setup that has stiff springs installed. It provides racers added softer spring rate progression. Once the assist crushes, the normal spring rate will take over.
The second job is the same as helper springs. They prevent the loss of traction during rebound, and extreme cornering.

looks great! while i dont have a 350z i do appreciate another brand that backs up their coils with a dyno graph. there is so much to suspension that most users (even "enthusiasts" dont understand that we get sold on things whos dyno graphs look like utter crap!
now if only there was a resisdent shock dyno reader...i sure as hell dont know how to read them.

Could you be a little more technical, I'm certain anyone who looks at this would appreciate a response that's more technical that just saying "swift springs are the best on the market" or "very comfortable" or "better ride" or "help the rear spring during cornering". How does it help the rear spring during cornering, does it keep it company and give it a shoulder to cry on when the going gets tough ? 
If your going to sell coilovers that you claim to be track worthy and have the performance to back up a well performing time attack car, then you should know better and do better on explaining your products. Also you claim dyno testing, would you be willing to post examples of 350z shock dynos ? BTW im not trying to be a dick (im actually a surprisingly nice guy) I am simply providing an opportunity for you to show us why these coilovers are BETTER than any other of the 10s of sub $1k coils out there.

These threads have lots of good info on the Swift Springs.
This is what sold me on these springs
Hope it helps!
