Swift springs review!!!!!

theART · 09-10-2020, 01:58 AM

Done! Looks and handles great!

Now need to decide on spacers size.

1) the product hasn't changed, just read the existing reviews

2) they're springs. Not a ground breaking part

3) It's 2018. Get coilovers.

Will running slightly out of range camber have significant effects on your tire wear? I'm not convinced that's true.

Well stated ...I agree

As far as running slightly out of camber ranger and having significant effects on your tire wear? Only time will tell as I am going to test it and fingers crossed you are right.

I am probably going to be on the max side of spec with a new set of RE-11's and will be hoping to get a good 25k off these tires that are rated for 10-12k miles.

At this point in time I cannot afford $500 + install fees to bring the fronts into nominal spec range. The old saying goes "pay me now or pay me later" and dammed if I don't shell out the extra $$ for upper control arms as they are much cheaper than buying a new set of tires. So I will be in the damn'd that I did not boat. Hopefully not though!

Its a financial deal...$300 vs $1000-$2000. For those looking for a slightly stiffer setup and a slight drop only, springs are a more financially smart choice.

Exactly. Why throw away $1,000+ for coils if you are not going to track and race the car. The springs are GREAT for a street car! Lower it PLENTY and handles AMAZING. I saved $700+

Not to mention that the oem/swift setup will handle better than the cheapo coilovers (<$1200). A lot of the cheaper coilovers dont have very good valving and are made primarily to go low. Not all of them, but most. Ill probably be getting coilovers in the future for aesthetics, but if I were going to track the Z I would go with some koni yellows/swift and some sway bars vs (cheaper) coilovers.

Was any more of a drop with the Koni's. How stiff is the ride?

well they do offer performance gains as well...

In fact, the 370Z Nismo RC model comes with Swifts on the fronts from the factory.
