That is the impression I got from them.

Well anyway here's my baby with the swifts freshly installed along with 20f 25r spacers! I'm loving it so far, noticeable difference with turn-in and ride! I'm hoping I'm close enough in spec w/o the rear camber kit once I go in for alignment.

One thing I've noticed and not sure if it's something to worry about, but are the "Swift" logos on the springs supposed to all be facing forward so when you look at the springs from outside the wheel well you can see the "swift" logo? on the front left it's facing forward when I look through the wheels at the springs but on the right side I can't see the logo, so I'm guessing it's facing the inside of the car. I can't see the logo on either the rears, anything to be worried about?

I doubt it matters.

Ok cool, I'm a little OCD when it comes to that stuff and just wanted to make sure that all the springs don't need to face the exact same direction.

So my swifts (driverside front to be specific) are creaking when going into driveways and making slow turns...and my oem insulators are on the front springs. I'm going to take it back to the shop and have them look at it, maybe the front driverside insulator isn't completely covering up the coil allowing a little area to rub the strut?

bmarcinczyk14 · 03-28-2013, 10:16 AM

Anyone else's swifts make creaking noises even with the insulators in place?

wheee! · 03-28-2013, 10:26 AM

Nope. Mine were silent from day one, same as the other two sets I installed for other people.... must be an insulator out of place.

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.

I have put 15k miles on my daily driven Swifts. The car should feel this way from the factory. The only thing I have ever scraped was the front chin splitter, which isnt a big deal at all.

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.

Thanks for the offer fastfood98, but I've read so many good reviews for these springs that I'm just gonna buy them...
