Thanks! My GT-S rear offsets are +8mm, and I still have a few more months to decide. Please update us with new photos once your springs has settled after you get your alignment done, if necessary.

Also, the camber will affect how the drop looks for the reason that Osiris noted regarding how flush the wheel is with respect to the fender.

Do these springs put anymore stress on your stock shocks? Should I be changing my shocks too?

Do any of you guys get a creaking noise in the front when going up/down a driveway?

Where is it coming from? I get some groans once in a while going diagonally up driveways when it is cold but that is from some body flex.

370Z JT · 01-30-2011, 02:09 PM

Sound seems to be from the front passenger wheel area.

christian370z · 01-30-2011, 02:13 PM

No, I definitely don't have that on my car. Does it happen all the time or just once in a while? Also, do you live some place cold?

Just installed my swift springs yesterday. Now the car still rides smooth, looks aggressive and handles awesome. It's def. worth every penny

I would recommend this springs to anyone.

I live in Cali, and I installed the springs while it was raining really hard. I believe I remember hearing some noises going up and down driveways. Now I dont hear anything even in the rain (I went through another storm with it). Anyways no more noises for me. I believe they need to break in to the tophats. The thing is I wasnt even sure if it was the spring that was the cause of the noise either.

How long have you had the springs installed now?

Hey guys, I got swift springs installed last week at the shop on my Z. I notice yesterday that every time I drove to a very smooth curve I hear the noise form the spring especially on front driver side. I don't blame that if I drove to drive way to hear that noise since drive way has more curve shape. But for the smooth curve i hear that noise too. Do u guys ever had that problem with swift on your Z? One thing i notice is the springs I got from swift didn't have plastics/rubber between the coils as in pics above. Is it the reason why?

There might still be hope IF Koni were to make em for the Z34 and then paired with Swifts.

Did I hear somewhere or was it BS that the 2012 Z34 was going to have a reworked strut? If so I would be interested in testing a pair with my Swifts.

haven't heard about anything getting reworked for 12, but who knows?

Your issues were almost certainly due to the h&r's. the yellows are top notch.

you need to move the rubber pieces from your stocks onto the swifts

My stock springs only have front rubbers. Not for the rear springs though. Do u think the noise issue something to do with the rubber pieces or something else.

Yes, there is a big picture with large print instructions in the box telling the installer to
swap them front the stock front springs to the new aftermarket front springs, my
installer did not see this very large picture and left them off, but I got lucky and have no
noise coming from them after 2k miles now.
