From what I've read, you will not need a camber or toe kit in the rear to get back in to spec. Front camber should be within limits also.

H&R, however, do require both front and rear if you want to get back to factory spec.

Does anyone know what kind of warrantee comes with the swift springs? For example I know Eibach comes with lifetime…which says the company really stands behind their product.

I believe it is a 3 year warranty, I see no reason to doubt their quality as they have a very good reputation and Swift springs have been run on cars for thousands of miles with no issues.

Swift Springs USA

Warranty info above; SpecR springs are 3 years. Also, give Swift a call and talk to them! They are very helpful and will answer any questions you have. I think Swift is the sole spring supplier for Japan's Super GT race league and they also use a more advanced process than most manufacturers. When doing compression tests, where the spring is compressed ALL the way and then they see how it maintains its shape when the pressure is removed, Swift springs maintain their shape better than other major manufacturers. They are very durable and are made to be abused ;)

If you want the full life of your tires, I would recommend getting the rear camber kit, even if you get back within factory specs, you will still run a little camber.

I'm not opposed to a little more negative camber in the rear. As long as I can get 20k+ out of the tires, I'll be happy.

Either way, thanks for the feedback :) Will have to see what the specs end up once installed.

u were able to get 20k out of ur rear tires? i was only able to get 18k with stock suspension. is that a bad thing haha? i dont spin my tires or anything like that either.

Depends on the tire. On my 350z the stock bridgestones would wear out before 15k. All other brands I tried, including Nitto and Hankook, lasted over 20k. Granted, 80%+ of my driving is on the highway.

Being that I have a long commute, I tend to take a good look at the tread wear ratings.

I'm still on my stockers for my 370. My next tires will be some RE-11s. Hopefully they will perform as well as I'm expecting.

Yeah you can only install 15mm spacers that are the stud replacement type, not the bolt on type. You can use 20mm front and rear with no issues.

What was the problem? Rubbing, not long enough studs, etc?
