swift springs for kw v2

hi im looking to do the swift conversion kit for kw v2
I know Harold sells a kit and am looking into that.

has anyone done this? big improvement? I read its a bit more harsh.
maybe progressive springs are better for DD.
what length of spring would I need? not sure what his kit comes with. but spring lengths differ when you look at them individually.
also, what is the spring rate range for the kw v2? I think the upper limit is 400/800

I had this EXACT same setup about 2 years ago. I actually REALLY liked this upgrade as a starter coil over setup. It has just enough adjustability and although the dampening isn't quite up to par, it still does the job.

I doubt the shocks can dampen 400/800# springs effectively. 300/600# sounds more realistic. KW valves their dampers for the springs that come with the kit fwiw. Also, you'll void your warranty if you do this conversion.
