No matter how I dialed in the compression on the yellows the car did not handle no where near as good nor look as good as the swift paired with stock shockers on the Z34. There might still be hope IF Koni were to make em for the Z34 and then paired with Swifts.

Did I hear somewhere or was it BS that the 2012 Z34 was going to have a reworked strut? If so I would be interested in testing a pair with my Swifts.
haven't heard about anything getting reworked for 12, but who knows?

Your issues were almost certainly due to the h&r's. the yellows are top notch.

I don't blame that if I drove to drive way to hear that noise since drive way has more curve shape. But for the smooth curve i hear that noise too. Do u guys ever had that problem with swift on your Z? One thing i notice is the springs I got from swift didn't have plastics/rubber between the coils as in pics above. Is it the reason why?
you need to move the rubber pieces from your stocks onto the swifts

My stock springs only have front rubbers. Not for the rear springs though. Do u think the noise issue something to do with the rubber pieces or something else.

Yes, there is a big picture with large print instructions in the box telling the installer to
swap them front the stock front springs to the new aftermarket front springs, my
installer did not see this very large picture and left them off, but I got lucky and have no
noise coming from them after 2k miles now.
