Also for the guys that are still having noise problems with their swifts, this maybe something to look into.

Wow, wouldn't you think this is something that should automatically be included with the springs? Anyways, thanks for the info though! :tup:

Got my toe bolts installed. Now I need to get an alignment ASAP. Anything in particular I should tell the tech doing the alignment? I only enlarged the hole towards the inside of the car. If they try to do a full rotation of the toe cam bolt will it F up something?

Just got back from Firestone. I told the tech what I did so he wouldn't try to fully rotate the toe cam bolt. He got me lined up for ZdayZ. 0 toe on one side and 0.02 on the other. It was great success!:tup:

No I didn't buy them, I had installed the bump stop wrong when it fell out of the dust collar and that's what caused my noise. Now there is no sound and it rides great, sometimes I forget it's lowered because the ride is as good if not better than stock. I almost wish it was 1/4" lower up front and 1" lower in the rear. I loaded the Z up for a trip, put my wife and daughter up front with suit cases in the hatch just to make sure I won't rub when fully loaded and it looked perfect plus no rubbing.

That does look a little high in the rear. Even for not yet being completely settled.

There might be some binding of the rubber bushings at the pivot points in the rear. Was the suspension at it's normal/rolling compression when you tightened everything down?

Swift springs on order
 
Looking forward to the change! I'll be sure to post my experience and impressions.

I installed mine on the weekend. Took a while with the camber arms and toe bolts but the ride is so much better. I can whip around corners with no body roll. I got an alignment just to get everything straight but am going to get another in a week or so once everything settles.

KaienZ34: what is your camber in the back because if you go more negative it should eliminate the gap a bit?
