Job priority mis-management. :tup:

Finally got the springs installed today. Overall, I'm very pleased with the ride and drop. Wish I had some nice aftermarket wheels.

Looks good Angelo! Good to see you here as we used to talk in the Nismo wheels thread at my350z.com :) I had the yellow 350z but wrecked in the rain and traded it in on a brilliant silver 370z and couldn't be happier.

^^ Thanks Gator, and yeah I remember. I remember when you first got the LMGT4s on your 35th AE. Sorry to hear about the 350Z, at least you moved up to better things :tiphat:.

Yep, I only had the 350z for a year and a half :( I hydroplaned and did around 3 circles in the rain and then slammed into a huge bush and then a tree. It was so close to being totalled but they decided to fix it and I chose a horrible bodyshop lol After returning it there 5 times I just decided to trade it in on a 370z and everything's been much better since :) Yeah, the LMGT4's were still on it when I traded it in so someone is probably happy with the 350.

Hey guys, new to the 370Z forum. I am about to buy some Swifts SPEC-R's for my G35 coupe. For those that have had the Swifts on for a good bit of time, how much wear and tear do they put on the stock shocks? On Swifts website, they said they recommend using high performance shocks, but its not required. Appreciate the feedback fellas!

You can leave the stocks on with the Swifts, but when they are worn out from normal use, replace them with Koni's or similar...

These look great
 
I have two questions:
1. do you guys have any problems scraping on speed bumps?
2. does this give the 370z a similar ride to the old 350z?

thanks

1. I scraped on some speed bumps BEFORE the Swifts! So you have to be careful on any bump/pothole. No different than any other lowered car.

2. Never drove a 350, but I cannot imagine the 350 had a setup as good as a 370 with Swifts....

Greetings all. This thread has been heavily attended and I browsed through the first ten or so pages and seems that there are no complaints. I just got mine installed about an hour ago and on the drive home, it seemed to be swaying every time I would hit a bump. Is this normal? I thought maybe I just need to let them settle. Also it was snowing on the way home, would that have played a big factor? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

/Angelo350Z/ 03-18-2013 08:22 AM

Mine makes some noise at low speeds when going through bumps, or even when I turn the wheel slowly. I know why the noise is there; it's because the OEM spring silencers weren't installed or maybe the springs aren't sitting properly on the shock. Either way, they're easy fixes. I would still recommend these springs.

wheee! 03-18-2013 10:13 AM

Should not have any sway. Have the shop check their work.

Could also be the ruts in the road, I noticed when I got some braces for 240SX.
