Default Swift springs what all I need?

Have a 14 coupe sport touring. What all do I need when I put on the swift springs on OEM sport euro tuned shocks?; I.e. (Camber arms, control arms)? What brand? I don't want negative camber or anything weird just a plain Jane lower drop and setting everything back the way it was. I see swift for the 370 only come in spec R. Is that only for the Nismo or can a sport use em too? Thank you.

Actually nothing. And you cant avoid a negative camber. Our Z is designed to have at least a - 1.4 to 1.6 on the rear. With the swift with the Oem camber arms it would be higher negative since you will lower the car.

You can buy a Spc camber and toe kit. I think onzedge is selling his.
Ops its already sold.

The spec R can fit any trim model Z 09 up or nismo.

You've got a 99.9% chance of needing camber arms f+r and toe bolts in order to get the alignment back in spec.

without camber arms/toe bolts, your rears will be around -2.5 camber, which will not cause any extra wear and tear on your tires. Your toe will still be in factory specs.. so it is not 100% necessary

That was not my experience at all, and I have a milder drop than the OP is going for.
