Can I use Swift springs with Bilstein B14

Hi NAM,

As the title says, I am wondering, would anybody know if I can get the Bilstein B14, not use the springs it comes with, and use my Swift Spec Rs instead? My hunch is no because of the different base. And what would be a better setup for the track. fit and forget, Swifts springs on Bilstein B6 or Bilstein B14 coilovers? I will be running fixed cambers for both for now, with slotted strut mounts but might upgrade to adjustable later when funds allow. BTW, I ask because I already the Swifts on Bilstein B4s which feel floaty.

Another question, what are the spring rates on the B14 and are they linear or are they progressive?

Thanks,
