I read your review...but after a few months how is ride, body responsiveness, damping, and adjustability?

I'm looking for about 3/4" drop in front, 1/2" in back, then to strengthen the responsiveness while maintaining the softer damping. I'm assuming I can adjust the front and rear to different specs. I kind of hate the droop butt look that some of M/Q's have. I like a stronger stance aesthetically. If that makes sense.

And then I want to have more confidence in the handling ability. My car seems a little skittish in its stock form. I would add the Tanabe rear sway from Japan along with my already installed front strut bar.

BTW - very nice write up.

I drove around and made minor adjusts for several months before writing that review. It's the same today; I'm about to run some autocross this weekend. Just hoping for a dry track to get a full test. I did the low version and higher spring rates. I have maybe 5" of total wheel travel. On the lift there is only about 2.5" of fender gap...maybe less. For you I'd suggest the normal version and lower spring rates. Swift Spring upgrade is still worth it IMHO.
Lower sway bars have been tricky; I've only seen 1 person fit the rear bar but had issues installing the front. From what I understand the AWD models have beefier sway bars than RWD so maybe that's an option. I've thought about taking a shot at the front bar and see if I can get it to fit.

After a few discussions with them on how and what I will use the car for - we went with the regular set up.I said I wanted to opt for the swift springs...but he said as a daily non track in Texas it was not necessary. I appreciated the honesty.

I'm kind of excited to see the change in ride quality, handling and then to play with custom ride height. Since I upgraded to 255/40/20 Michelin PS4s the ride seems to feel a little more bouncy. Its very subtle...but I notice things like that.
