Any cons of lowering springs?

Thanks, Zbrah! Hope to post some tomorrow.

Sweet! Can you snap a few shots of your toe bolts and lockouts. I've been looking for installed photos of the lockouts but seem no one has posted any

Now I'm looking for wheels. I was going to stick with 18"s, but I think I would like 19"s, just to fill what little gap is left. Regardless, I'm extremely happy with the results. Someone at work noticed there was something different about my car, but they couldn't put their finger on it. To me, that's always a good sign. It means that, while subtle, it looks right!

Sorry for the quality of the photo, but all I have is my old iPhone.

I've dropped my Z on swifts, excellent ride btw! However without a camber kit, the rears wear slightly on the inside on mine, nothing too crazy but still not perfect. The fronts on mine were brought back to factory camber spec however. I would definitely suggest a rear camber kit for peace of mind.

Keep calling shops and they are all about $600 for the install of rear arms and springs and alignment

thats crazy, my shop installed my swifts and wheel spacers on sat, I'm getting wheel alignment and spl rear camber parts put in on friday. this way the springs can settle in nicely.

total paid $350 including everything, spacers, swifts, alignment, rear camber install.

How much did you end up paying for install? I just got quoted for $810 for installing swift springs, SPL camber arms, spacers, SPL eccentric lockout kit and rear spc camber bolts. Crazy.

That was just an initial alignment. I'll go for another in a week, or so, after the springs settle.

Yep, I need pics to confirm where the lockouts are being installed. Also, if you don't mind showing the drill bit you used to elongate the camber holes too. I'm not too mechanical so pictures would help a ton here. Thanks!

I will take pics for you. Saturday at the latest.
As for the bits i used, I destroyed both of them and discarded what little was left. I used a Dremel Chain saw sharpening bit. There were two in the pack for about $11. The alternative, and the real way to go was an $19 high speed cutter. I bought both packs so I had the cutter if the CSS bits didn't work. When the CSS bits worked I just returned the HSC bit unopened. I would suggest the HSC bit. I'm not sure what the number was. Whatever you get needs to be able to hack steel, so the #115 and #117 bits are NO GO. I destroyed a 115 or 117 (I forget which one) on the first hole, and still didn't get it completed.
I'll do a search and see if I can find the HSC and post a link.

Thank you Zip!!

Edit: You only used two lockout bolts? I see the lockout kit usually comes with four bolts/eight square washers, but your pictures only show two bolts installed on the end of each camber arm.
