You get what you pay for. Swift Springs are the best you can buy, therefore they are more expensive.

So ironic that you guys are spending nearly $400 on springs for a set of $850ish pair of dampers to fix a problem that *ANY* coil spring will experience when being compressed. BTW - Hypercoils and Eibachs are on $1 mil+ racecars, they are plenty good enough for an S13 on some super cheap Chinese made coilovers.
What you guys need are a set of thrust bearings somewhere between your spherical bearing on the camber plate/shock mount and the lower spring seat to allow the spring to naturally wind and unwind as they compress(all coil springs in the world do this due to their geometry). It does make a difference.
I've got some Vorshlag upper spring seats with thrust bearings up front and torrington bearings in the rear of my setup. Springs rotate freely and compress easily.
