The springs should last for a long, long time. Also, shocks these days tend to last for a long time, so I don't think you need to worry about them, unless you regularly drive on some gosh-awful roads.

Others will chime in, I'm sure, regarding your other questions. Good luck and go for it. You won't regret going with Swifts. I smile every time I look at my car now. It's the way Nissan should have made it to begin with!
One word: Koni.

So talked to Kamispeed and they gave me this list of everything needed to go along with my springs.
-Swift Springs Spec R
-Rear Camber Links
-SPL Lockout Kit
-SPC Rear Camber Bolts
-H&R Spacers
Does this sound like everything? Will I be able to get this installed all at once? Or should I get the springs and spacers done first? Also will rubbing be an issue at all with my stock tires and rims? Will I be able to drive normally with this set up? I know it wouldn't be crazy lowered, just wondering whats up haha. I don't wanna have to drive extra slow all the time.
Also I don't know what size spacers to get. I don't want my tires sticking out really. I just want it kinda flush. So would 20mm in the front and 25mm in the back be too much? Would 15/20 be better? Thanks everyone for answering all my lame embarrassing questions.

Looks good bro Get it all done at once, cost less probably. Should drive better than it did. Wait and drive 200-300 miles before alignment. Letting the springs settle...
There are pics in my profile with 15/20 spacers. The pics with OEM rays...
Most of the pics are 305/265 tire combo too. There might be a couple with stock tires lowered with spacers.

Here is mine sitting on Swift Spec-R, Koni Sport, SPL camber arms, H&R 20 mm rear and 15 mm front spacers, Michelin Pilot Super Sports (275/35/19 rear and 245/40/19 front)...

Cool awesome pics man!! and thanks for the advice! I guess the real hold up is me deciding on the spacer size lol i am definitely checkin out your ride and onzedge's. Im just having a hard time, don't know if I should do the 15/20 or 20/25. I think I am leaning toward 15/20 though haha.

Lowering has a price -- one must be careful...

I tore out my driveway and when I had the curb poured, it is nice an smooth ---Z-car friendly...

I have problems.
