The drop really brings out the spaced look.

Looks good

Have you scraped the exhaust with this setup? I have Berks too and am a little concerned about scraping the low point on the exhaust.

This review makes me want to drop my car too. Me old knees keep me from this though.

I scrape my chin spoiler as it is, every day. What is it like for the guys who really drop them?

They really rub. Angles are your best friend but if your slammed some obstacles become impossible. The swift springs are perfect IMO.

Joshs09slvrZ, looking good bro!

No camber kit?

I was a little worried about scraping because the exhaust does hang kind of low just in front of the muffler...but I've gone over some decent sized speed bumps and haven't heard anything either (and that's with going over it slow with the radio off and windows down).

Nope...they were able to get the alignment back to within specs I am ok with. I'm totally ok with a little extra camber in the back than what the spec is.

I have a Berk CBE and Swifts -- I have never scraped the exhaust.

Nice Josh!

How would you rate the ride with stock shocks. Still comfy?

I enjoy the ride. The springs do absorb some of the smaller bumps in the road...but the bigger bumps definitely feel more pronounced...I think that's just due to having a stiffer spring rate. Even my wife noticed that the ride was smoother than before. I don't necessarily think that upgrading your shocks right off the bat is required...unless you just wanted to get everything done at once.

Swifts with OEM shocks are ok.. could be just a tad stiffer, imo.

I ran Swifts with stock dampers for about 4 months or so. It was good, but no where near as good as it is now with Koni's.

I wish i could get these but they will be to low for me because i have to daily drive the Z in a crazy corporate area for now. However i got RSR springs for the 370Z ordered on their way from Japan!!! They barely drop the car but its exactly what i need i think. Im wondering if i should pair up with Konis.Cant wait
