More negative camber will have some performance benefits for more aggressive drivers, but greater tire wear.
My fronts do not have camber arms so they are stock and -1.7 with the Swifts.

Do you have the Sport Rays wheels with your 305/30 V12?
Can I not go back to OEM camber setup with the swift and with a 19X11 wheels.
Is there a need for a camber kit for this?

It looks like stock rays and spacers.
It will depend on your offset.
More than likely you will need camber/toe kit for atleast the rear.

Nice!
Anyway guys Im planning to put in a swift springs together with a 19X 9.5 and 19x11 M310 with V12 255/305. Now my question being the complete front and rear camber kits cost around 500+. Which kinda pain in my A** right now to buy.
Which one can I prioritize in buying the front or the rears to make my Z close to OEM's camber alignment? Since can't afford both right now.

Do the rear first for sure.

What is an average cost for a spring and camber kit install run?

You are looking at about $320 for the springs and about $190 for the camber arms. Install = ???

Anybody here had a Swift spring installed with a FI or ARK Grip CBE.
Did you have any problems with ride height? I mean with speed bumps?

I know Ron is running swifts and FI 3" catback on his TT nismo. We had no problems from texas to louisiana then the dragon (NC) and back. Just take speed bumps slowly and at an angle.
