Based on the research/work of username Funks, I purchased a pair of Swift metric coilover springs. About the same height as the MSS Sport springs. Rated at 280lbs, which is close to the MSS Sport weight. Got some thrust sheets to make adjustments easier. I am very pleased with results.
But, if you already have the street kit and want to upgrade to the Sport kit this is a viable alternative to purchasing from MSS.
My assumption is that your current setup now has the correct front springs (220 mm - which you've purchased out of pocket) and replaced the rear springs with the Swifts (280 lbs/inch - part number Z60-178-050). Are you still running the older rear 65MM ID adjusters (shorter length)? If so, what's your adjustment range now with the swift springs? Sounds like it's working good for you though, as the rear orange sports springs coupled with the old / 65mm rear adjusters didn't really allow one to adjust the rear higher than the front (when using the front 220mm springs).
The fully adjustable kit is basically a bad joke, as the 220mm spring has a max drop of 3/8 inch. It's best IMHO to buy the standard sports kit (non front adjustable) and just replace the rear orange springs with swifts.
MSS Sports Standard Ride Management System (11a) = 745.83 British Pounds
vs
MSS Street Standard Ride Management System (10a) = 495.83 British Pounds
+
Swift Z60-178-050 (comes as a pair) = 128.77 British Pounds (170$)
Saves one over 121.23 GBP (that's 160$). MSS@UK has better prices than their US distributor as well.
