after a lot of research i pulled the trigger on a set of Swift springs and rear SPC camber kits for my z today...

the "Swift Spring Review" thread has a lot of members giving it excellent reviews. plus yeah i want the front to drop a tad more than the back for that aggressive look. i doubt i can get them on in time for the Houston "coffee & cars" this saturday though. but then again i installed an Evo-R LED rear fog light, GT-R start button and spacers to have something new for this november get together.

i had these on my evo ix, they were great!

$420 sounds about right. We charge a bit more here for a lowering spring install, but it includes the alignment. If you've got a floor jack, jack stands, and basic hand tools you can tackle the job yourself.

Either way, make sure you get an alignment.

I'm thinking about getting the ARK Grip, really like the look and sound. It's really hard to compare the sound clips of different exhaust systems because the device they use to record and where they position the camera can make it sound a lot different.

yeah...i used high quality headphones to try my best to hear the difference.

the install quote is with alignment also. i have to have a shop install the springs. no tools in my garage to do the install on my own.

420 for springs installation?! Lol I paid 200 for the installation on my old car. Does anybody know what the going rate is for coilover installation and alignment?

Agreed!

The stance looks great.

I've got an install scheduled for the Tanabe's and spacers (15mm front and 20mm rear) scheduled for the week of Dec 12. Your pictures just affirmed my choice.

I think its even from rear to front once you've been driving it for awhile. Looks great - I think ill purchase these for by black 370.. Ill post pix.
