What cambers did you buy? Can you send a link or ebay link, thanks.

Nissan 370Z 2008+ SPC alignment

these are a recommendation from me

Pictures - New Wheels!
 

Here are three pictures of my new wheels (G-Games 99B +22 offset). I had my Swift Springs installed last week and am getting an alignment tomorrow.

Any opinions on spacers? I am thinking that I don't need anything for the front but maybe a 10mm for the rear would complete the look?

I'd do a 5 or 7.5 up front, probably 15 out back. But it is hard to tell from the pics.

Any tips for taking better pictures?

The Z looks great Alto! The drop looks great, the front offset looks ok while the rear could definitely use a 10 of 15mm spacer. You can take some more pictures at angles like these to help us give you better recommendations:

Wheel spacers input needed
 

To avoid cluttering up this thread with lots of pictures, I started a new thread:

what size spacer are you running it looks very good

Rear camber kit looks like a given, what is the vote on the fronts?

most my customers go with rear if they upgrade... the only ones who do front are usually more concerned with more performance upgrades than just getting the camper right

hello, new to the site... just bought a new 370 and i was doing research regarding lowering springs (my first mod). all the info i read says that swift springs are the best lowering springs (in the market) for the 370.

where should i purchase swift springs from (reputable vendor)?

Corner3Garage or KamiSpeed.

from me :tup:

Finally got mine installed at Amplified Motorsports today...Simply put, these springs do not disappoint. Here's a quick shot I took at the shop, I'll take some hq pics after they settle in about a week and post 'em up.

Great to hear you are happy with them Kingzee, they are awesome. Just wait until you get out into the canyons!

Glad u like the King!

Thanks for the awesome job and great prices Lou.

looks good. Love the 40th rims on white as well. :tup:

thanks Red :tup:

for the curious, just removed my stock tires. Running -2.6* rear (no camber kit) had literally zero wear difference between inside or outside...

oh forgot to mention that I got rear camber arms...any suggestions on camber? I'm thinking -1.5

Same, although the outside 1" or so of my rear tires don't touch the road unless I start pushing the car through turns.

I set my rears to -2.0 and love the way it handles. Don't be afraid to give it some more negative camber as it really wont affect tire life that much. Well, unless you go way out of spec like -3.0 or something :tup:

I left mine as they sat after the Swifts and love the handling... scared to change it back!

If you haven't realigned it might be really negative or out of whack.

These springs are creaking like crazy, is this just normal during the settling phase or are they just noisy springs? The rubbers from OEM were properly installed.

I have never heard my springs make ANY noise, break in period or otherwise. I have heard others complaining though it usually turns out to be the rubbers. Not sure what it could be...

How much does it cost to have the the swift springs installed? Are spacers necessary?

spacers aren't necessary, they're basically up to you

How is understear with these, im sure some one mentioned it already but there is no way im going through 56 pages. Why im asking because today i was doing some spirited driving and almost ended up in a parked mini cooper because of the understear i got going through a corner at 30mph.

They should not creak at all if they were in fact installed correctly, the only culprit is the OEM rubber mounts so I would look over them again.

I had mine installed for $225 at SpecialtyZ in California, but Seb has some of the best prices for labor and parts out there so that may be on the low side compared to other shops.

The Swift springs give the car a much more neutral feel, removing most of the understeer that the stock springs had. Combined with a good set of sway bars, you can get rid of understeer completely. I have zero understeer with my Stillen sway bars and Swifts, just perfectly neutral balance through turns.

Thanks, I'll look it over but I saw the guys at Amp put them on...I'm not really getting creaking during normal driving, just when I'm trying to go up steep driveways sideways and they're really compressing and expanding...I may take them to extremes others wouldn't experience to get into my building's driveway without scrapping.


:iagree:

SWIFTS ARE AWESOME. Got them installed today and wow such a great improvement over the stock springs.

If you have creaking issues, it is because the OEM rubber rings were not put on the Swifts correctly. I had creaking issues, went back and put the rubber rings on, and have not had any issues since. Check my post in the review and the Nismo Swift review if you want pics.

theres too many other factors for you to pin point the springs causing it.

unfortunately, I could not get back to factory specs. Have to order a camber kit for the rear. Fr -1.5 both sides, Rr -2.5 and -2.4 was the best they could get it to. Toe and caster were good all around.

I got 1.5 front and 2.2, 2.0 rear. Left it as is, feels pretty darn good.

Anyone know if running -2.5 rears will destroy my tires?

wont ruin, but will wear them out fast

at -2 degrees my back tires lasted 15k miles. and that was babying them. (15k miles isnt bad on a car like this though)

since you cant adjust front camber i wouldnt wory about -1.5

spc rear camber kit it is then :D thanks

no. I put 6k on my rears at 2.5/2.6 and they wore perfectly evenly.
