I've heard about lighter spring weight which would potentially make the tires make better contact with the ground, but are there other benefits? I take my car out to track once in a while.

Thanks!
Typically they give much less deflection to keep the the camber and toe more under control. At some extreme settings toe links will take away the bind and allow more adjustment that wasn't there before.

The performance of your dampers is directly related to the quality of your springs. Higher quality and lighter springs will certainly make a difference. Your dampers don't have to work as hard to control them. Swift has one of the lightest springs with the thinnest coils(more stroke) on the market today.

Feel free to PM us if you have more specific questions regarding SPL or Swift.
