Hi Kabestro,
I live in Guaynabo Puerto Rico as well, and have Swift springs on my Z. I love them. Would you like a ride on my car before you make a decision? I believe the car should have come like this stock.

Thanks for the offer fastfood98, but I've read so many good reviews for these springs that I'm just gonna buy them... :happydance:

Most people can get back into spec with just the rear camber kit.

:iagree: That was my case.

So I took the car in for them to check out the creaking noise, they said the insulators were all in the correct spots and they couldn't find any issues with the install. Their now saying some bushing may need to be lubed, possibly from the car being lower the bushings might be making noises. I don't know I may just put up with the creaking since it's only when going over bumps slowly in driveways.

The swift drop is perfect, but I am not so impressed with the handling at this point, the car just does not feel confident in speedy street cornering(by this i mean 60-80 range, I do not take it much more on the street). The front feels a little floaty to me, and the stock struts I do not feel rebound these well, even tho they are supposed to...I rather stay with a spring setup, this is a pure street driven car, might have to get the konis and see if that helps, if not off to coilover land. :( I ran s-techs/tokicos on my 350, and it felt much better than this. The car was aligned to factory specs, been on them for about 4k miles.

bmarcinczyk14 03-31-2013 02:56 PM

so here's how my alignment turned out, what do you guys think? Close enough to get by without camber arms? The only thing that caught my attention was my front left camber is way off the front lefts. Something to be concerned about? That's the side that's making the creaking noises too, maybe the added negative camber there is something causing this since the insulators are all in their correct places.

You need Koni's.

fastfood98 04-01-2013 06:19 PM

I've read the whole thread, and I have the Swifts myself. I adore them, however, the next step is to upgrade to Koni shocks. Can somenone that has Koni give a comment or description of the Swifts with and without the Konis? I mean, before and after?

Just ordered my swifts today :happydance:

You will still want rear camber arms.... I tried to go without but I decided the tire wear wasn't worth it and the cost of the camber arms was reasonable. Don't forget toe bolts too... can't do one without the other.
