Take a look and let me know what you think! Do the springs look too compressed? What about the shocks?

I spoke to Swift about the noises and they sounded really confident that the OEM spring jacket was not on. I had no clue what they were talking about but they sent me a picture and apparently yours doesnt have it on. That will directly affect the squish noise. They assured me that it was tested on the Nismo and the springs will not cause any problems as long as installed correctly.
The reason why your vehicle is making noises is because the OEM spring jacket is not on the spring.

So this is exactly how i should install the rubber piece on the springs?

Yes, that is how the spring should look before you install it.

Had my Swifts installed and aligned the same day (didn't plan on alignment at the same time but I gave in).

Here are my results after alignment

Front
L/R
-1.4/-1.3
Camber

5.7/5.6
Caster

.08/.09
Toe

Rear
L/R
-2.6/-2.2
Camber

.12/.12
Toe

I guess i will have to get Rear camber arms later on but i don't think the rears are too bad. I'm looking to get in spec and not looking for any other advantages. If L/R rears were closer maybe i would just left them alone...

What do you all think? Should i give it more miles and then recheck alignment?

FYI the rear camber was -3/-2.9 before adjusting.

I would wait a week or 2 and get it realigned but thats just me.

Can't wait for my springs to come in!

You need to give them time to settle.
