vogtland lowering springs

hi freaks !! was looking for lowering springs for my 2010 T.W. fit and came across this German manufacturer vogtland.. i have seen a GD with these springs on fitfreak but wanted to know if anyone has installed/ experienced these springs on GE8. they kinda look confident on their product and the price is also great.. i e-mailed them and got to know that these springs are around 30 % stiffer than stock and give the fit a drop of 1.4 inch all around. searched on google about them and surprisingly these springs have got positive reviews on them despite the fact that not many people know this brand.
Vogtland says these springs can go well with factory dampers/ shocks.
anyone here heard/ experienced them ?
can these be compared to swift sport mach ?

Vogtland is popular with the VW/euro guys and has been around for a while. Lots of stuff from the GD guys but I can't find a thing on GE reviews. 1.4" drop is pretty safe on stock shocks.

I would also vote for Swift, but if there's a particular reason you want these instead I wouldn't be worried about quality or anything.

If you are really in India I would go with the vogtlands no problems because they will be easier to find over there.

Yea, I'm from India and its true vogtlands are available here easily. But next month I'm coming to Chicago for a week so I can go for swifts as well, so its more about quality rather than availability.
Vogtlands drop is more than swifts, but I don't know how well they could adjust with my stock shocks.
Swifts are known to be great with stock shocks and they dont give a bouncy ride.
I'm a bit confused.
