Swift springs review!!!!!

I think so, it's usually the rubber parts settling in the top hats, etc. Thats why you are supposed to wait a few weeks before you go get an alignment.

I'm sitting at 1" lower front and .75" lower in the rear right now... driver side is a tad higher too, but that might be a good thing as I weigh 225 lbs

Ill post pics of mine soon. The drop settled a bit more. The h&rs give a raked stance, this offers a very slight raked look, but more even imo. That pesky stock wheel gap is no longer bugging me and I'm always happy to see my z's stance now

i don't think i read it in this thread, but did anyone that has installed these springs need to use a camber kit? If so, just the rear?

I think some are running the camber bolts but I think that it is best to go for camber arms since these will be right on the limits of what the camber bolts can be adjusted to.

This is WITH the springs installed? Still looks like a pretty sizable gap...can you take a pic showing the whole car?

Yes that is with the springs, measured from the ground up to the center of the wheel arch.

If you are stock, can you measure your car? I'd like to see a comparison.

Pics of my car are in the members gallery, no time for a photoshoot, only cell phone pics
