Looking for some help: Had swift springs on stock suspension and after 2 summers couldn't take it anymore (I don't drive much, but it was getting bad after 4,000 kms)

Decided to go with BC coils after reading reviews and considering price, etc. Installed last week, and while things are technically improved over the swift/OEM combination, I still feel like the entire car (comfort, handling, control) is missing something and quite frankly I feel as if something is wrong. Perhaps it is just my expectations associated with the BC coils (assuming they would magically fix everything with the poor handling), but I am not sure what to do? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Some Additional Info:

2012 GT

~30,000km

Whiteline rear sway

19" OZ Superleggera with 245/40ZR19 Sumitomo HRT Z III

* have yet to do an alignment because I am debating whether I am happy with the ride height

Your very welcome. Looking forward to see how it works out for you as I am also planning to install the Swift springs along with some sway bars and looking at a similar wheel (Drag Wheels) in Gold from Discount Tire Direct. ...Maybe when the weather warms up we can meet up, I am about 1 hour west of Port Huron and a few miles south of I-69.

Funny, Drag wheels are on my short list too: DR-33, DR-34, and DR-38. Are there any track days/events coming this summer in PH? I have been curious about any events that draw a big crowd in Michigan or up state NY?

Gienek:

Thanks for the post. I checked the rim fit from a tech perspective using a website program. However, I realize this is just an approximation and doesn't consider the drop from the springs. The online calculator says " will leave more room for suspension than OEM. Package will stick out ~1.1" (27mm) farther than stock. Package will fill out wheelwell by 5mm extra"

Do you guys think this will require a fender roll with the Swift spring drop?

Again, thanks for the feedback (I am new to this stuff)!
