I used to have Swift Springs on my EVO. Best springs outthere FO SHO!. This will be my first 370Z mod; when I have them I will post pictures up. I pre-ordered mine through Kami:
Swift Spec-R Springs 370Z 08+

I will be getting mine next month.

Any lowering springs will reduce the life of the stock struts. However, Swift springs aren't as harsh as any other brand. They have a very safe drop and won't sag like Eibach, etc. This will give you a 1.25" drop on the front and 1" drop on the rear. The perfect springs for performance.

Very tempting. If these come out looking anything like H&R's stance, then I'm sold

If SWIFT Springs are willing to give me a good price on a set of their initial production I'll be glad to do a full review (install, pics, ride and road circuit feedback)!

Call Kami Speed and talk to Billy. I'm sure he can work something out with Swift.

I have a question. Since the OEM spring/struts are lower than the NISMO S-TUNE setup, I wonder if there would be a height difference with these installed on the Nismo S-Tune struts vs OEM. Nismo sits .5" higher than OEM so the drop would only be .7" lower than OEM... I might get these afterall!

Check the DIY:

DIY coilover install

It's about a 6 hour job if you have all the tools. About $200 to $400 for a shop to do it.
