The 370Z crowd seems to love Swift springs. Don't think you could go wrong with them.

Most people that just want a slight drop without too much compromise in ride quality go with swifts. They seem to work really well on our cars and provide about a 1" drop. A lot of people, like myself, have been able to get within or almost within stock camber specs with swifts as wellu
