If I order Swifts, do I absolutely needs SPC camber arms for the rear and toe bolts for everything? Friend just had his done with nothing but the springs. He's saying 1.3 green and 1.4 out for the other side for the fronts.

will need to use griot's paintprep to first remove the many layers of carnauba built up from SpeedShine. :rofl2:

it's more the rear. u can try it without it and see how u like it after alignment.

my G has similar geometry and everything is within factory spec. running rear stillen camber rods only as far as alignment correction. no toe rods or bolts on the rear.

the alignment guy a few weeks ago said :tup: well done ken! very nice setup considering how low the car is.

For $88, I might as well get the SPC's. Should i get toe bolts as well for the rear? All my searching says that the front really doesn't need much.

i would leave the front alone. as for the toe bolts, it appears to be a popular solution... i wouldnt know as i dont plan on lowering my Z at all.

kenchan 03-29-2016 12:00 PM

why mess with a great thing.

dat is my philosophy. same goes for the STI's suspension. thing rides awesome out of the box. :tup:

Alrighty, thank you. This is still all up in the air, was just curious. Figured I would get Swifts if that front lip isn't in stock by this week.

in dat case, the glazed surface/membrane would be removed.. :ugh:

Im sorry I FUBARed that up. It needs a polish since its black and I have a bunch of swirl marks. but the griots 1 step has polish in it. the paint glaze covers scratches. I mixed up the process but thanks.:tup:

I'm buying the camber and traction arms for my car, I haven't decided if I want to put the Swifts on. I ran adjustable camber arms on my Corvettes, they do make alignment a snap. :twocents:

My griots inventory is as follows: best of show wax, paint glaze, one step sealant, polish 1-4, speed shine, clay bar, 3 inch random orbital, red wax pads, orange polish pads, car shampoo, and 3 of every towel they make. I plan on using all of it this weekend in the correct order when I find that out.

I just look at tire prices and cringe a little haha. Figured some decent camber arms would help extend some tread life. But also figured that if I get the arms, I might as well get some Swifts.

yah, i rarely use the one-step sealant with any glaze before or after as it defeats the purpose. :tup:
