Can anyone please tell me if i just need the camber arm and or toe bolt. So far I read that only the camber arm is needed. Is this correct? Also SPC or SPL? I'm ordering swift springs tomorrow along with 20/25mm spacers.

I'm lowered on swift with 20mm spacers all around. I don't notice any rubbing at all.

You need to order the H&R DRS ones if you are looking for the ones with stud replacements. I have them for both front and back, a bit more work to install but safer option. You won't need a camber kit just from adding the spacers but you MAY if you are adding the springs.

Most install the spacers and springs, let the springs settle for a bit, get the alignment done, this is usually where you'll know whether you need camber kit or not - some forum members were within OEM specs and didn't need the camber kit (Hence $$ saved) others did and had to get the kit (SPC for the most part around the forum).

Here is a link you might or might now have come across Swift Springs Review. PM members such as CFZ, TJLAZER, JJ-NISMO, BOOST_LEE are excellent resources for the Swift springs and provide prompt replies. FUCT and JOHNNYDRAMA are also knowledgeable on the springs and spacers subjects. I hope that helps.

very informative, im looking into this too. Rep'd! :tiphat:

Has anyone done the 20front and 25back spacers on swifts? Have you had any rubbing on the front when making sharp u-turns or even with a drop on the road? Just trying to decide between 15&20 or 20&25 with swifts....im on stock tires with 19's, sport package wheels

Csprad12 10-04-2013 08:08 PM

I have 20 and 25 with my swifts and there is no rubbing

Everything is installed, & it looks great! Rides like stock, handles better, & no squatting on starts & shifts. I love swifts & spacers... Thanks Kamispeed & Z1! Both were quick to ship & great customer service too.

tnav 10-17-2013 12:00 AM

Just had Swift Springs and 20/20 spacers (thank you Corner3), I have a Touring/Sport, the cars feels and looks sick, the handling is absolutely superb and it no longer feels nervous, especially when you come out of turns, the car does not jump and do funny stuff like it used to, being a powerful car ... I do think the spacers are very-very heavy and you can feel it ... I am considering getting much lighter wheels with the right offset or simply removing the spacers.

I am in SoCal 92612 if anyone wants to test them you can borrow mine and see if you like them

Norain post pics bro!

NORAIN 10-23-2013 02:59 PM

I will after I get it aligned next week. It's not my DD so I haven't put many miles on it since the install. But, it looks sick! It really should come from the factory with this stance. I can't wait to get a little bigger tires to fill the fenders a touch more.

Hi, I know this is an old post, tried to send you a pm but, your box is full.

I saw you have a very similar set-up as to what I'll be running. I've got a 2010 w/ sport pkg.

I'm going with the 20mm H&R for all 4 corners & Swift spec-r springs…along w/ the FI CBE, GTM oil cooler, Stillen G3. and UpRev tune

All work is being @ SpecialtyZ here in soCal.

I see you're not using any camber kit at all. That's what I'm debating…Do I need the SPC combo kit or not?

This is my daily driver, probably not gonna track her but, maybe. I do some spirited driving in the twists though.

I'd love to get your thoughts and what your experience has been w/o the camber kits.

Thanks in advance.

I don't have a camber kit...almost stock specs after alignment. The camber looks pretty much stock too. I can't comment on tire wear. It's only been about 500 miles since the install & about 200 since alignment.
I kinda wish I would have done 20mm's in the front like you are.

Thanks for the reply. I'm really on the fence with this.

In case anyone wonders about the alignment after Swift Springs ... hope this helps, it's a great setup with the 20mm spacers

Wow that was a lot of rear camber. If I were you though I'd save to buy camber arms and switch the front and rear numbers. -2.4 front, -1.5 rear would be great.

corner3garage 12-12-2013 01:15 PM

We have plenty of 20/25 spacers if anyone wants some at a super discounted price of $100, with the purchase of swift springs!

I drive the car very hard, not a daily driver by any means ... the tires actually wear out just perfect and the handling feels almost perfect.

The fronts do rub a little if I am taking hard turns and the turn happens to be bumpy. Most owners won't have that issue. I could swear my rears rubbed during a fast a long turn up in the LA mountains, but I could be wrong

Several months later, the rears are perfect based on my driving that is ... the fronts however need more camber, I need another -degree as you said, not sure a front sway bar would fix that, but as of now the fronts area wearing off on the outside a lot more

Recent model year Sport wheels and spacers
 
I've been following a bunch of the Swift springs and spacer threads.
Maybe some of the people with the newer Sport wheels (edit.....Ray's 19") could post up some pics of their 370s with the info of the size of spacers they've gone with. There is one huge thread (edit.....which I can no longer locate) and I've been through it all but it's quite old, and hence, not too many pics of recent Sport wheels with the Swifts and spacers.

Thanks

I'm a bit confused...

I have a 2016 Nismo and I'm going to go with Swift springs here right away. I want to order the spacers at the same time, but I'm not confident on what to go with.

Items to consider:
- I will likely never up size the tires. The stock size seems huge as is for a relatively low powered car. I want to keep it as nimble as possible so bigger tires seems it'll only hurt that.

- it sounds like I should go with 15mm spacers all around. I will keep those plastic OEM fender flares on (I want to keep the car looking OEM+). Will the 15mm spacers cause any rubbing?

- will the wheels still look sunken with a 15mm spacer due to those OEM Nismo fender flares?

- should I go to bigger spacers?

- will I have to mess with camber if I drop the car on swift springs? I'd prefer not to have to.

- anyone have photos of a 15/16 Nismo on swift springs and 15mm spacers?

I like to drive hard. I want to avoid rubbing, yet have the most realistically wide stance possible while still being able to hit corners at light speed. Any help would be appreciated!!

Nithmo 10-31-2016 10:13 AM

Zzzzz.... anyone?

wheee! 03-13-2017 10:31 AM

There are a ton of threads on this topic. But yes, 15's will not rub. I went 20 on the rears with 305's and -1.2 camber.
Yes, you will have to adjust for camber and toe. Get the camber arms and toe bolts.

lubu2186 12-05-2017 01:31 AM

Am I missing something? My front tires need bigger spacers to be flush vs rear
 
Everywhere I look it's
10f 15r
15f 20r
20f 25r
Or just even
15f 15r
20f 20r

Etc

I'm so confused
Can someone please explain?

wheee! 12-05-2017 07:10 AM

Swift springs and spacers
 
It all depends on the wheels and how aggressive you want to run your camber.
Stock rays and mild camber and 15 front and 20 rear (spacers) are a safe bet.
More spacer means more camber is required to tuck the wheels under the car.
