I was going to just go 15/15 with no change in springs, but the rebound I was getting on the highway was starting to bug me and my GF a bit. SUPPOSEDLY, this will smooth that out a bit and tighten corner turns a lot.

My only worry is that I live in Michigan and our roads are not like Cali and Florida... :icon14: oh well... wish me luck, pics to follow.

Let me know if anyone has the same setup. From what I hear, the ride should be perfect and hopefully I won't rub and/or bottom out!:happydance:

Same setup here with the exception of the 20mm spacers (I have 15 front and rear). I'm not sure I'd want to go any wider than 15 though, especially in the rear. I don't rub at all (haven't bottomed out yet either) and it did improve my ride a bit, however it is still a stiff ride....but I like it. Just got my KWV3's in the mail yesterday so about to go a tad lower...got a feeling I'm gonna be rubbing soon though...lol

Swifts installed today along with everything else. Still has a baby gap in the back. If it don't go by by I will get Coils

I've read most of this thread and it seems people install and drive for a couple of weeks to let the springs settle. Ususally alignments are pretty damn important right after an install like this. Does it just not affect the Z to the point of making it dangerous to drive?

Just a tad nervous about doing that. Kinda like installing my oil cooler that's been sitting in my house for two months because I've never messed with something like that before. I'm such a b***h.

On the same note, I plan on doing a 20 minute track session at Hyperfest on the 15th. If these are installed late next week, should I get the alignment prior to the session or will it be too soon or will I be better off with the extra camber? I'd really like to hit the track with the springs on. Springs on the base/touring are too bouncy. I'd feel ridiculous on the track otherwise. lol

Pushing things kind of close there. I'm not sure I'd want to drive 4-5 hours up and back with a track session in between without that alignment. You may end up needing a new set of tires when you get home...lol. If it were me and I "had" to have the springs on for Hyperfest, I'd set up an alignment the day before I left. Worst case scenario, they aren't completely settled and you gotta pay another $75 alignment down the road. Sometimes ya gotta pay if ya wanna play.... Just my opinion though.

Here's my Lady in (Magma) Red on Swifts, I was thinking on spacers, 15mm on front and 20mm on the back, is this a nice combo? Don't want to go too wide in front cause of the bad roads here in Puerto Rico.

I'm running H&R 20mm up front and 25mm in the rear. The roads aren't exactly perfect here in Guam, but I'm still very satisfied with the spacers.

Hey brotha, I read a post that you posted earlier about you getting passed the noise or something to that effect. Just wondering what noise you talking about. I ordered the same springs and still waiting for them to arrive. Also, who did your install? and who did your alignment? Thanks in advance.

I have Tein S-Tech springs on my Z. I want little more low! Currently I am lowered .9"F and .7"R, well thats according to the specs. I know they set and get a bit lower.

I was thinking H&R but that seems too low. The Swifts are a pretty similar drop though. By switching to the Swifts I would drop .3" all around since the is drop 1.2"F and 1"R. Here is how my car sits now on Teins.

Wheel/Tire specs:
19x9 ET15 F & 19x10.5 ET20 R - 15mm spacers in the rear
255/35/19 F & 295/30/19 R

What do you guys think? Will it rub or be too low for DD?

Thanks!

Yeah, your only choice here would be coilovers. Just make sure you choose the right type of spring rates depending on what coilovers you choose so you can still have an enjoyable ride.

What wheels are you running now?

Yeah, I've been reading over the reviews here on the forum but honestly, I'm not making much progress on figuring out what I want/need.

I'm running the Work Emotion CR Ultimates... the new 19".

Here's a close up of the rear. That's a lot of gap for my taste.

Hi Kabestro,
I live in Guaynabo Puerto Rico as well, and have Swift springs on my Z. I love them. Would you like a ride on my car before you make a decision? I believe the car should have come like this stock.

Don't know if this has been asked before or not, but do you guys recommend the swifts for daily driving, or is the drop too much? I'm considering Swifts or Eibach, the roads in PR aren't that great to begin with, don't want to be scraping the car all the time.

Does anyone have an alignment spec after installing these? I want the specs before an alignment was performed on OEM components.

After installing swifts I was at -1.5 front and -1.9 rear camber (before alignment at ~40 miles).

I can't remember what the toe was unfortunately.

Edit: Found the sheet

Front Toe= 0.08" passenger and 0.09" driver side
Rear Toe= 0.11" passenger and 0.11" driver side

this is all before the alignment

The springs settled after the alignment and camber when another 0.1 to 0.2 degrees out

Damn was hoping for more so I didn't have to buy front arms. Thanks
