Get sportline!! Looks way more aggressive! Idk about handles, I haven't really tried driving it hard but I love them. Just installed them last night. it's not as bouncy as everyone says. It's perfect. I love it!!! Sorry for answering this even though it wasn't my post, but I'm too happy for these springs and would love to recommend them to people who's having a hard time deciding between springs. Because I had the same issue. just saying haha!

The ride is decent - def. stiffer than stock. Not too bouncy though, just a nice positive feel.

+1 for a dropped alabaster silver fit. Looks good badwrench. Just got my fit and hope to have it dropped soon. I may try the swift's.

I love the way mine handles and rides especially now that the springs have settled. I've only scraped once, but that was a my bad trying to turn into a parking lot at the wrong angle, the entry way was wicked steep. It is a stiff ride, but thats why I like it. There's next to no body roll compared to the stock springs. I'd say go with Sportlines, but it is up to you ultimately. I intentionally got these because I couldn't find any springs that dropped it lower. (cant afford coil-overs)
