Alchemy

Yeah all that I have seen are black. Guess they dont use that color anymore. Too bad black is boring, not like you see em anyway.

some of the springs they make for other cars are blue. Believe all the Z34 springs are black though.

yea they come black, unfortunately we just have a generic picture that swift uses for the Spec-R springs but for some reason not all spec-r springs are that color...

wheee!

These springs are amazing, inspiring, aggressive, balanced, responsive, and basically perfect!
Just got back from a trip thru the Rocky Mountains with these and chasing a motorcycle rally thru the twisties. I was blown away by how these springs held the roads and kept the car flat and on line!
WORTH EVERY PENNY AND THEM SOME!!!

Gentlemen, I put my Swifts on a few months ago, but due to a hectic work schedule, never got around to driving the car much after the first few weeks. I am back in action and recently got an alignment done. Check out the print out for more detail, but long story short, the Nismo DOES need a rear camber kit. The front could use a camber kit to get back within the Nismo OEM -.58, but I am fine with running -1.5. Note that OEM Nismo front is -0.58 front and -1.58 rear

Notes

• Swifts still kick a** and are a great option
• Swifts provide a perfect looking drop IMO and definitely increase overall handling performance
• Pulling ramps out everytime I go in and out of my driveway sucks

Alignment Specs

• Front Before Alignment: -1.6 left; -1.7 right
• Front After Alignment: -1.5 left; -1.7 right
• Rear Before Alignment: -2.8 left; -3.0 right
• Rear After Alignment: -2.3 left; -2.3 right

Just because you need a rear camber kit does not mean everyone else does. Nismo or not. I did not need one, dialed in to -1.4 front, -1.9 on the rears with no kit.

Bottom line, every car is different. Some will need kits, some will not. Won't know until you get 'em on and get an alignment.

Are you using spacers with your set up?

For those who keep on scraping, I suggest taking a dremel and cutting away the lower portion on the sides of the plastic spoiler beneath the bumper. We did that at the shop, per my request, and it came out perfect.

Not linking to it since it is gigantic so you can see the detail.

Take about half an inch off the ones below the fender, as well.

So after about 400 miles on these springs, I have concluded they are awesome. Smooth. Hardly any stiffer than OEM. And yet handle notably sharper and better. I hit a mean bump in the road today...I guess the group of as*holes who cut a chunk out in the middle of the road through it wasn't necessary to warn drivers there was a sharp bump.

When I hit it, I was surprised how well the springs absorbed the impact - it was just a solid thud and not the kind where you feel like your head has been smacked by a hammer. Very happy I went this route. I'm going to have to trim the plastic below the bumper just a tad more, but otherwise nothing beats this spring.

Those are my thoughts exactly, glad you like them Arnold! They really change the overall balance and feel of the car and make it much more responsive and tossable as opposed to the stock springs making the car feel a bit heavy with a bit of understeer.

Installing my springs right nao!

I have a question though.. I reused the oem rubber sleeve for the bottom coil but I've been seeing pictures of another black sleeve 2 or 3 coils down from the top.

My springs arrived completely nude. Just confirming this is correct.

Sent an email to swift but I tend to get answers much quicker here
