Yeah, thats the piece I was referring to. I don't think he put it on his springs

car looks sweet. where did you get yours installed? and how much?

Just call all the local shops around you and ask them to do it for 150 take it or leave it. its a pretty straight forward install. I paid 150.

Thanks! It was free, I did it myself.

ive had mine on for a few months now and they have settled in great!!!

this was by far the best suspension mod ive done, well worth it imo!!!

I just added the ichiba camber arms since I got lowered on swifts. Made a huge difference! My camber was at -3.5 on the rear after the drop and now it's at -1.2

You only did rear right?

Yeah. Toe bolts too. My fronts are at -1.4 without camber arms. Toe just needed to be adjusted.

damn 3.5 is nuts:eek:

Yeah I got similar numbers with the rear camber arms and toe bolts

Friend did a quick photoshoot.

Hey,

Question, not sure if I would lower since the roads around my way are pretty bad, but which of the swift springs do most people buy? I see they offer a few different types but would it be Sport or Spec R Springs? Can anyone tell me how they ride compared to stock nismo springs? I dont mind the stiffness but i wouldnt want to lose any performance of course...

They're one in the same for 370Zs.

Yeah, swift only makes one type of spring for the 370 and it's a great ride. Smooth enough to be on a stock car...You should read some of this thread, a lot of additional input and reviews on the ride.

Nice pics CFZ :tup:

Oh i see. Gotcha. Yea i dont know much about springs and lowering for our cars, ill try to read through at some point.

Also, who sells them on here? Cant seem to find that...

Thanks again.

Swifts are the sh1t. Check out Kami Speed, they are on the forum. Great dealer.

I got them from Amplified Motorsports, talk to Lou for a great deal...they'll install it for you as well for a great price.

weird how some people claim their camber/toe are in spec, and some post up to -3.5 degrees. What exactly is causing that much variation?

Seems it's almost worth it to order camber arms and toe bolts with the springs. Then again, at that cost you're in about $600 with an alignment for not such a huge drop.

yes I sell them :tup: let me know if you need pricing

Swifts spring is not built for "dropping" it is a PERFORMANCE FIRST spring. Looks were secondary to Swift when making this spring. Now I dont know the exact numbers off the top of my head but I know I did not need a camber kit. My alignment didnt get back to stock specs but I know it was close. I have noticed no excess tire wear at all.

Kami Speed FTW, great customer service, best pricing + no tax, even for Cali peeps.


Nice pics CFZ

I get that it is a performance spring and such, but you would have to be fooling yourself if you think the majority of the people that ordered these springs didn't get them for looks.

When they first came out, one of the big factors people were pushing was no need for a camber kit with the added bonus of a spring that rides better than stock. Look through this thread and see how many people made a special mention that they didn't need a camber kit with this springs.

Don't get me wrong, when I decide I want to install them, I will be ordering swifts (although, since I am not a track driver, I am now considering H&R's if I have to buy a camber kit for the swifts as well). I just found it odd that some people are fine without and in spec, and some people are way the ef out of it.

Stock camber is -1.7 and after swifts -2.4, camber kit is not a must be a good idea.

Haha^^

I wish those were my specs after swifts. I was at -3.5 on one side and -3.7 on the other. I bought camber arms and they were able to get it to -1.2 on both sides. The fronts were at -1.4 I think

my rear was -3.1 on driver side and -2.9 on passenger side they were able to get them both to -2.4 on stock arms

If you are buying Swifts for looks alone, thats just stupid. Thats what Tein and H&R are for. I feel the majority of Swift buyers ARE buying the spring for performance. If they were buying for looks why wouldnt they save $100 or so and buy H&R or Tein? Im pretty sure people know they are spending more & $ because they are buying a PERFORMANCE spring.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

All cars, even if same make and model are not created equal. Sometimes the road you drive on or the way the car is driven can give the vehicle different wear characteristics. This is prob the reason why some people have different alignment specs from others. But either way, a tad bit more negative camber than stock will not kill the tires and it will increase the cornering grip overall for the car, especially mid corner. Camber kits are recommended by manufacturer with any lowering springs, but then its mainly for the ability to give it a wider range of alignment. I on the other hand do not have camber kits nor am I planning on getting them. There is no uneven tire wear that I see, and like I said the added camber is good for the occasional track days that I do.

Anyways yes these springs are made for performance. I and a few other people on here waited forever for Swift to finish the R&D involved for these springs to come out. Im sure a few here can agree with me that they definitely took a long time R&D'ing, but trust me it shows when the springs are on the car.

Still extremely happy with them and I wouldnt purchased anything else at least spring-wise.

:iagree:

Well said :tup:

:iagree:

These are the best springs just short of Coil overs.:tup:

It looks like Koni yellows are about to be released... Can't wait to see them paired with a set of swifts.

Any time line or specs on these?

My swifts spring is on the way.

I've heard that too, can't wait to see how they will pair up.

Do I need any camber kids if just lower by swifts spring

idk what camber kids are...

i don't think you'll need camber support from what i've read. i think you can get your car back close to stock spec w/ an alignment.

Rears only with toe bolt. Fronts will be close to in spec, no need depending on the current tire tread wear.

Not holding my breath, did not like that they were not adjustable for rebound just compression. Over rated unless re-valved (big $$$) Did not pair up well with H&R. Would rather lay down my wad on some KW3's. Only nice feature of Koni yellows is you can replace one strut vs other mfg's that hit you up for a pair if one blows a seal. But then Swifts changed my mind over Eibach, who knows they may pair up well over the Swifts.....someone buy a set when they become available. Hopefully Koni will use the same technology for adjusting the rears.
