swift springs?

so I have a brand new 2010 evo mr touring edition.
I am no rookie to the car scene i have posted pictures of one of my other cars as well to show that haha.

my question is I heard the swift springs are the best springs to get if i am going to get springs. the car is a DAILY DRIVER. i was thinking coil overs.. but I'm still finishing up my other projects. and I'm not ready to make this car a non daily yet. are the springs good? and which ones do I go get and where? i see a bunch for the 08+ but they say GSR etc. didnt they not come with the bilistein shocks? or something different? either way I would appreciate some guidance as to what exact swift spring to get. unless there would be a better spring.

and if you are going to bring up coil overs I want prices as well. and does anyone want to buy my wheels? haha the stock bbs that is on the evo. or I would like to trade for some volks and money if anyone reading is interested.

pics for the clicks

Swifts are good for DD but could be a little soft for aggresive track use. KW coilovers are actually not bad in stock form (~$2K). Robi Spec'd street versions are probably good ($2.4K)...the clubsports may be a little too aggresive depending on where you live. AST coilovers look very promising for both track and DD ($1.9K but you will have to wait until at least fall or later). After that you are talking Ohlins, JRZ (<~$3K). HKS have been talked about as being pretty good (also ~2K) and some have liked AMR (~2K).....

So if you have not picked up on it, you are looking at around 2K for decent coilovers that would function well as a DD set up vs $300 for swifts. Depends on if you want to wait until you have the money or spend 2x if you are planing on COs anyway. I don't like paying 2xs so I went right to COs (robi spec KWs).
