:tup:

Thanks again for the deal. I just couldn't rock the gold though, had to have them painted.

Hi,

Could you guys recommend a vendor on the west coast side? Preferably local in the Seattle area. I'd like to get this Swifts installed asap while we still have some sun. Thanks in advance. Oh, also a shop that would install them.

i am happy with my Sprints, the perfect drop:happydance:

Mine get installed on Thursday along with 25mm spacers on all 4 corners, and FI test pipes. Shortly after I'm assuming I'll be putting on a camber kit, unless by some miracle it aligns.

Amazing springs. No question about it.

I recently got my set from KamiSpeed [vendors on here] and Joshua was able to help me out and shipped it out ASAP. Shipping was incredibly fast. Only 2 days!! Needless to say transaction was smooth and J is very helpful and was able to answer all my questions. Great springs from a great vendor! No complaints.

Swift springs review!!!!!
 

Also had mine from Kamispeed, installed by Chi at Dynasty Auto here in Orlando. These things kick ***, especially with spacers for that squatted look. The ride actually is better than stock, though I haven't had it past 50 MPH or any good turns yet to get into more detail.

Oh, and no camber kit needed.

Just got mine on... and might be taking them off. I've got that creaking sound coming from the front, and I can't stand it. Anyone know what causes that??

Make sure the rubber isolators are installed properly.

I'm headed back for a re-alignment soon, and I will have them check it out. If they are missing, do they have to break everything down to install those? Thinking of using that wire organizer wrap stuff if that's the case. Top, bottom, and some where the tight coil meets the bigger coils.

No you have to disassemble but it needs to be in between the spring and the perch.

Camber arms for the rear
 

So....two pairs (4 arms) for the rear, correct?

Thanks

Not two sets, one pair of rear camber arms SPL Titanium Rear Camber Links (370Z / G37) and one pair of front upper control arms SPL Front Upper Control Arms (370Z / G37) and rear toe bolts SPC Rear Camber Cam Bolts (370Z / G37)

You might not Need all of these, at least get the rear camber arms and toe bolts...Brand(s) of your choice of course.

Oh, OK.
I didn't think I'd need two pairs/sets until it came up earlier in the thread.
My plan is to go with the SPL camber arms and toe bolts and pass on the front upper control arms unless it turns out I need them.

Thanks.

Thrust Sheets
 

Did anyone install the Swift Springs thrust sheets from their website (Swift Springs USA)? Has anyone had squeaky springs after the install?

I'm about to pull the trigger on the Swifts, H&R spacers, and SPC rear camber/toe kit. I just want to make sure once I get it all in there that it will be quiet. Right now I get a bit of creaking from my Nismo springs.

The Swift thrust sheet only work with coilover springs. With inner diameters of 60|65|70mm. They will not work with the Lowering springs.

Shoot me a PM and I can help you with all those items, no problem.

Wen't back to the shop and they added some wire wrap on the bottom of both front springs, cleaned up the perches, and added lithium grease to places on the perch as well. No noise after that!! :happydance: I hope it lasts...

They said there was already rubber on the top, so they didn't add anymore.

Got a re-alignment while I was there too.

Wheel spacers
 

I've been looking all over to find 25mm wheel spacers, specifically H&R spacers and want to use their DRS style ones. (replacement stud type)
I can find 20mm DRS spacers, but any 25mm spacers I find are the bolt on type. (equivalent to H&R's DRM ones)
Are all the folks running 25mm spacers running bolt-ons?

Thanks

Looking around it doesnt look like you can get a "drs" style spacer for the 370z. Only 370z guys I have seen with 25mm are bolt ons.

They make them for some other cars though, weird.

I am running 20/25mm (F/R) H&R DRMs. I think the DRS only goes up to 20mm. I haven't had any issues with them for the year or two I have had them installed.

Anyone know what the turn around time is if you order these from Kamispeed?

I got mine in a few days.

Same here.

Yeah depending on where you are located in the US. Typically within the week. Or early the following, when ordered.

Send me a PM and I can help you out :hello:

Nice. I can't wait to get mine lower.

The very conservative Eibach Pro-Kit springs (on the Z33) drop the car a bit more. The Swift springs (on the Z34), on the other hand, provide superior damping and comfort.

Swift springs with 20/25 spacers. I enjoy the combo of the Swifts + the stock sport shocks. Works really well for the street. If anything I wish it didn't lower the car quite so much. If I could take it back up 1/2" or so I would.

Can anyone recommend a spring compressor that works on the Nismo and Swift springs? I saw in a write up on here that the tight spacing makes it difficult. I also don't want some cheap piece of crap that's going to fall apart.

Thanks sandersd.

FYI to anyone else who needs a spring compressor. I found the SPC Spring Compressor #40260 that sandersd mentioned on eBay for $120 shipped. Look up seller ultrarevparts. It wouldn't accept an offer of $115, but it took $120.

Hi Ron, car sits well! Which camber arms did you go with?

His answer is the post you quoted;)

Has anyone come across something like this for your garage? Might be overkill but for the price, it just might be worth it especially when manual compressors can cost just as much, or more:

Coil Spring Compressor 3 Ton Auto Strut Hydraulic Tool HD Heavy Duty Auto | eBay

Mostly positive reviews and appears safe to operate...

I've always just gone to Autozone and rented the spring compressors. $55 refundable deposit and they have always worked great for me

Gotcha, thanks. It's just that spring compressors seem like one of those hit-or-miss tools and you have to get just the right one.

This setup here is about perfect! Love the look of it man. :bowrofl:

Are these still the favorite among lowering springs? It seems like no one carries them.

Yes. Did you try Z1?

Yes I did not see them on their site. Maybe I missed them
