Thanks! Zero rubbing and a much better ride than the stock springs. These springs are a great upgrade for the 370z.

I agree -- they get even better with Koni's. No kidding.

Koni's are on my "to do" list for sure.

That, my friend, is some very sound thinking. :tup:

Looking good 370Zgatorman, the spacers are ideal for the sport wheels, fills out the wheel well. Now mount some beefy RE-11's and you will be set.

370zGatorman 08-27-2012 08:45 AM

Thanks :) Yep, as soon as these tires wear out. I REALLY want the Nismo wheels though and will be trying to trade these plus cash as soon as I find someone with them.

Just want to point that these springs will gradually settle over time a bit more. My car is easily another .5 lower today than it was last Summer when I had the springs installed. Then again, it could just be a factor of NYC roads contributing to this. But ride quality has not worsened, fortunately.

370zGatorman 08-27-2012 01:47 PM

Sounds good as I'm wanting another 0.5" in drop.

I assume since the 2013 Z didn't change too much the swift springs should fit on the new models, right? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You would be correct. Didn't hear of any changes done to the suspension.

The struts, springs, and a few other damper related bits are different on the 2013 370Z, actually. The ride height is slightly higher as a result.

I remember reading something about "euro-tuned shock absorbers" being newly added for the sport package equipped 2013 somewhere. I'm not sure if any suspension components have been redesigned or not. I would double check part numbers against a previous year for shocks/struts before making a purchase.

Here it is in an article: 2013 Nissan 370Z Gets Some Small Updates (The Torque Report)

I think the ride quality is better after I got the Swifts installed, however, I would like it to be a bit stiffer, will Koni Yellow shocks be able to provide that?

Most definitely. The Koni's on the lightest setting are still much more stiff than stock. On the hardest setting, you will be having your kidneys beaten to death and your fillings rattled out of your molars.
