So having looked at these for a while and seeing what other people are getting in their after installation alignments w/o camber kits, I think this may jump up on the list of mods I have planned. If I was able to find an alignment shop that would let me sit in the car while doing the alignment (preferabbly with ~1/2 tank of gas) do you think that would affect the alignment numbers much?

If you go to an alignment shop that is familiar with performance minded alignment settings, they normally factor in for driver body weight. At least that's what the performance shop I had mine done at did, they asked how aggressive I'd like and I told them to keep it performance minded.

Which alignment shop that u did your alignment and how much? I just installed the spring. I really love the outcome on both performance and look...superb

^^ pics?

Valley Pacific in Canoga Park, the guys there weren't the friendliest but they did a good job which is what matters at the end of the day.

Also, just wanted to add pictures of my Swift/20mm Spacer/Tire setup now that I have 265f/285r RE-11s installed:

shweeeeet~

Looks great Christian. :tup:

:iagree:

koni yellow have been released, 1st person with this combo setup needs to post pics and impressions :)

Group buys on combo deal?

It would be awesome for someone to throw down a GB on this product. If my car wasnt off the road for the winter I would prob have snatched these up the day they came out and had them installed. Woulda loved to be the first dude rollin on a Koni/Swift setup.

i have them up on the site and in the suspesion section, PM me if you want a combo price :)

wow, that's an absolutely perfect drop IMO. how does it handle now? compared to stock?

wow... that does look nice. Nice angles.

I have nismo springs and struts and the ride is real rough. If I were to go with these springs and go back to my sport struts what can I expect the ride to be like? Would it be closer to the sport ride or closer to the nismo? Just trying to see if it's worth it to swap.
If I do swap I could probably sell my nismo springs and struts for close to what it would cost me to get the swift springs.

I used to see a lot of posts about how the swift springs feel more comfortable on the street than the stock setup. Maybe I'm on crack :excited: but to me, the ride feels 30% - 40% rougher with the swift springs (stock shocks, sport wheels, tires).

Don't get me wrong though, I love em and wouldn't go back. I'd say the swifts fall somewhere between the base ride and the nismo as far as roughness. (I rode in a stock nismo twice but never drove it myself fwiw)

I agree, the ride is definitely rougher. You arent on crack, its the same way for me. But I dont have a Nismo.

I love my swifts but for some reason cannot track down the reason why they make a very slight squeaking noise from inside the cabin on the front springs when im driving real slow and when Im pulling into my driveway. If Im cruising at normal speeds I dont hear a thing. I have had them reinstalled twice, the lower "sleeve" is on there like the instructions said....not a big deal but sort of annoying when driving in parking lots.

I did this exact thing on mine. The ride is much better! It's in between Stock sport and Nismo. Perfect. The Nismo was kidney jarring rough, and there was no drop at all. The swifts are not as harsh and have a nice drop.

Sweet. That's what I hoping to hear. Thanks.

One more happy customer. love the ride and drop. Thanks to kamispeed for a great price and fast delivery.

Swifts are :yum: Just got my Koni Yellows in yesterday. Cant wait to pair them w my Swifts!!!

no problem let us know if you need anything else :tup:


:tup: install and review please :bowrofl:

What size spacers and tires did you have?

What model H&R spacers did you get, and are you on stock rubber?

I had my Z aligned a month after I installed my swift springs. I opted to install rear camber arms and now my rear left is at -1.7 and rear right is -1.6. a week after I had the alignment done I had my Z serviced and the rear left tire rated at 5 and the rear right tire rated 4 for thread dept. now I ordered a new set of Hankook V12s and I was wondering if I need to have an alignment again after I install the new tires or should it be fine without?

I experienced the same issue and the squeaking actually went away after a few thousand miles.

I also had the same issue, I spoke to Swift and they told me the rubber compound seems to be different from car to car so it may take a while for the rubber to settle in. It seems as though mine is going away/gone as well.

Quick question...is a spring compressor needed to install these?

Yep. But you can rent a pair from Autozone. It was a $60 (if I remember correctly) deposit that you get back when you turn em back in.

Ok...thanks for the info!!
