The swifts were supposed to be 25mm front, 15mm rear. (~1" front and ~.6" rear), but I think its a little bit more than that. The rates went from 3.5 kg/mm front and 5.5kg/mm rear to 4.25kg/mm front and 6.6 kg/mm rear, so that's a 20% increase in stiffness front and rear. (EDIT: Keep in mind those are Legacy GT stock rates, not the WRX rates)
IMO, looks wise I think its great. Performance wise, I fully agree. A little too stiff on stock struts, and I think a little less drop would also be better. If I was shopping again, I'd be shooting for less drop and less stiffness for the stock setup, or go to aftermarket shocks or coilovers.
