Thanks! I'll keep you guys posted as to what if anything needs to be done with the camber or alignment. Haven't had the car with the springs long enough to comment. I'm told though that there should not be a need to adjust camber with these springs but I'll likely take it into have it checked to be sure.

Thanks! I had a local autobody shop take care of them for me. 4r3s on the forum here also went to the same place for his blue Z and the handles came out looking super as well.

FINALLY got my Swift springs and Stillen sways installed yesterday.
I'll post pics tomorrow after I've had a chance to wash her and take decent pics.
I got a 4-wheel alignment done at the same time and they were NOT able to align the wheels to within factory specs.
Please find attached a copy of the factory specs and the results.
Anybody have any recommendations on what I should get to correct everything?

Edit: 2/12/11 10:20pm
Saw the post from Spohn regarding his Z, and his reference to the great deal from THMotorSports for the SPC Combo Camber Kit.
Just ordered them.

Got mine installed last week.

What do you think the back? I'll probably need a alignment right?

Drop looks good! Just need alignment and some wheel spacers!

Question for the forum..... I have had my springs installed for about 1.5 weeks. When I go over speed bumps and similar road changes at a slow speed my springs make a creaking sound. I imagine it has to do with the way the springs are sitting in the rubber. Is this cause for concern? Should I look at rotating them within their seats? Thanks ahead of time for any replies.

I have not heard any of this on my car, but you can try jacking the car up and unloading the suspension and then rotating the spring a bit. Other than that, can you tell if it is coming from the front or the back?

Hmmm no creaking at all here. Did you install the rubber spacer on in the top middle of the front springs?

Now you're making wonder if they left this off. what color is the spacer and does it go in the middle and top of the spring?
