Here's a pic of my Z with Swifts finally installed with SPL camber arms. No spacers or alignment yet. I always thought the pic of the Swifts on the dark cherry vert earlier in this thread was difficult to see the drop on the Swifts because of the poor contrast between the body and tire colors . Hope these ones are a bit better. 104

Your drop with the swift actually looks lower than the vert picture earlier in the thread. Looks good! Are the pics after the springs settled?

I'm currently deciding between the Swift and ARK GT-F springs. Is the drop with sport suspension and swift springs different than having the base version and swift?

The pics were taken a week later. I had driven it about 50 miles at that point.

I considered getting the ARK GT-Fs after I bought my Swifts (but before I installed them) and the sheer number of satisfied Swift owners on this site made me go with the Swifts. The improvement the Swifts make over the stock ride is the best thing about them. I disliked the compliance of the stock ride. I have no complaints about the ride now that I have the Swifts. Nissan should do their homework and go with a spring rate somewhat close to what Swifts have.
I do use a little more care now that my car is lowered so that's the only drawback. I can't really find fault with the ride.

I have no concrete knowledge regarding the drop between the Sport and Base versions, but I'm guessing there is no difference. Sorry.
Maybe someone else can confirm this.
