This is a great thread. I was looking at buying some springs and looked at all other brands but was leaning more towards swifts and this just made it easier for me to decide. Swift springs it is!:driving: :happydance:

I've been running on Swifts for quite a while now and have been loving it, but I'm wondering if anyone has gone from Swifts to a coilover setup?

KW V3's have always been my dream setup, but now that I'm considering gettin a set, I'm worried that I might not like the change from linear springs to their progressive springs. Has anyone ever regretted the change?

Install complete!
 
The Swift's arrived from 3 Corner Garage muy pronto, and I did the install today with the help of a friend. Followed the DIY, and it was a breeze, though it did take about two hours to get the fronts in (an impact wrench is definitely your friend!). Rears couldn't be easier.

I started out stock with 1 7/8" in front, and 1 1/2" in the rear. After the install and a short shake down ride, I ended up with 1" in the front, and 3/4" in the rear. We'll give it about a week to settle and then I'll get an alignment done to check the specs.

Just from a feel stand point, the steering seems as neutral and centered as before (no major alignment issues). On city streets, the car seems to "settle" a bit faster than the stock Nismo springs, and the car feels a bit flatter in sharp corners. I haven't ran it hard yet, but will get a chance later in the week. I'll try and get a pic or two up in the next day or so.

Next up, install of the Z1 oil cooler, and then the long wait for the FI CBE.

Installed Swifts today; dramatically reduced body roll; made taking corners a blast. I'm very happy w/ the performance aspect of it, but my front chin spoiler is not.

Those that are thinking about getting these, stop thinking and get them; you will be very happy.

After two months, I've learned to ignore the occasional sounds :tup:. The ride is definitely better. Though, I wish the springs gave a bit more drop. Still better than the Eibach Prokit springs I have on my 350Z.

The fenders have a cast a shadow on the tires creating the illusion of a bigger fender gap.

KaienZ34 05-20-2013 08:27 AM

I got to check out my other Z'z at Zdayz and all the swift ones had the same (almost 2 fingers) gap between the rear tires and fender as mine do. Since my rear offset is +0 the wheels pokes out a lot and that's why it looks off.

jlbrenne 05-20-2013 08:33 AM

Would you guys still do the swifts again or pick something else????

KaienZ34 05-20-2013 08:37 AM

I'd do it again and again, unless I needed more drop then KW V3's for me. Spring wise i'd go no other route.

jlbrenne 05-20-2013 03:30 PM

alright guys i just pulled the tripper on the swifts. i was reading on here a few days ago about some other type of gasket that i should buy for the install of the swifts..it cost like $25 or something...are these necessary..or i guess my real question is do i need anything other than the springs for the swift install????

mag_black 05-20-2013 06:34 PM

^ I installed springs and reused the jacket/sleeves on the front. I have no weird noises coming from anywhere.
