Default Swift spec-r spring on 2010 370z nismo

Hey guys..

Im planning to install Swift spec-r spring on my 2010 370z nismo. I was going to install H&R springs but I realized they lower just about 0.1 inch more on the front?? (1.3f 1.0r)

I did some research but Im not sure if they require camber kit on front and

rear..

Also, Im worring if they are gonna destroy the swar bar and end rinks because

where I live the roads are very bad..

Thank you guys for opinions...!

I went with the swifts on my nismo and I got both front and rear camber kits. On the front before alignment it was about -2.2 so it isn't that bad if you dont use a camber kit. On the rear I was at -3 before alignment so you would be better off with a camber kit if you don't want the tires to wear out uneven. Also your toe is going to be off most likely so you are probably going to need a toe bolt also. Toe is gonna wear out your tires the most if not set correct. As far as the sways and end links I don't think there should be a problem, I've had my springs on for a while now and nothing has become damaged.

Toe bolt is only for the rear, the front toe is adjusted by the tie rods.

Usually the rear needs a camber kit and we suggest SPL parts only because we have seen SPC camber kits break multiple times.

Also The swifts are definitely better quality springs than the H&R.

I can see that theres not much difference between H&R and Swift.. Swift just gives 0.1inch more drop on the front right??
