I'm headed back for a re-alignment soon, and I will have them check it out. If they are missing, do they have to break everything down to install those? Thinking of using that wire organizer wrap stuff if that's the case. Top, bottom, and some where the tight coil meets the bigger coils.

No you have to disassemble but it needs to be in between the spring and the perch.

Not two sets, one pair of rear camber arms SPL Titanium Rear Camber Links (370Z / G37) and one pair of front upper control arms SPL Front Upper Control Arms (370Z / G37) and rear toe bolts SPC Rear Camber Cam Bolts (370Z / G37)

You might not Need all of these, at least get the rear camber arms and toe bolts...Brand(s) of your choice of course.

Oh, OK.
I didn't think I'd need two pairs/sets until it came up earlier in the thread.
My plan is to go with the SPL camber arms and toe bolts and pass on the front upper control arms unless it turns out I need them.

Thanks.

Default Thrust Sheets

Did anyone install the Swift Springs thrust sheets from their website (Swift Springs USA)? Has anyone had squeaky springs after the install?

I'm about to pull the trigger on the Swifts, H&R spacers, and SPC rear camber/toe kit. I just want to make sure once I get it all in there that it will be quiet. Right now I get a bit of creaking from my Nismo springs.

The Swift thrust sheet only work with coilover springs. With inner diameters of 60|65|70mm. They will not work with the Lowering springs.

Shoot me a PM and I can help you with all those items, no problem.

Wen't back to the shop and they added some wire wrap on the bottom of both front springs, cleaned up the perches, and added lithium grease to places on the perch as well. No noise after that!! I hope it lasts...

They said there was already rubber on the top, so they didn't add anymore.

Got a re-alignment while I was there too.

Default Wheel spacers

I've been looking all over to find 25mm wheel spacers, specifically H&R spacers and want to use their DRS style ones. (replacement stud type)
I can find 20mm DRS spacers, but any 25mm spacers I find are the bolt on type. (equivalent to H&R's DRM ones)
Are all the folks running 25mm spacers running bolt-ons?

Thanks

Looking around it doesnt look like you can get a "drs" style spacer for the 370z. Only 370z guys I have seen with 25mm are bolt ons.

They make them for some other cars though, weird.

I am running 20/25mm (F/R) H&R DRMs. I think the DRS only goes up to 20mm. I haven't had any issues with them for the year or two I have had them installed.

Yeah depending on where you are located in the US. Typically within the week. Or early the following, when ordered.

Send me a PM and I can help you out
