You're gonna love 'em, P!

:icon17:

Same set up I have, I love it! I'd install everything together. You're already going to have it apart, why do it twice!

.... I haven't had a christmas since 2013...

But very happy for you brah! :)

Agree with this!

well, i was actually reading up and it was recommended that you allow some days for the springs to settle before alignment. the shop im going to also recommended the same thing, although i talked to them today and springs and spacers are going on the Z on saturday, camber arms and aligment a week after. what do guys think? make sense?

^that's true
I heard that from West end Alignment here in Socal
& they know what they're doing!

I got an alignment the day we finished installing the springs, camber arms, toe bolts, and lock out bolts, and then got it aligned again about a week later. The first alignment was absolutely necessary, because the car's suspension geometry was all out of whack. The second alignment was necessary after the springs settled. Since then, everything has been great!

:eek:

for me it was about a year since i bought something for the Z that wasnt maintenance related, and i was desperate!!!! :mad:

Why not install everythang on the same time then a week later go in for alignment? I don't understand the reason for splitting the install on separate days :confused:

im just going by from what ive read and the shops recommendation. springs and spacers are going in first, i guess i can also ask for them to install the camber arms too. ill have to go a second time to the shop for alignment anyways. im no expert, so i was just taking into consideration what ive read and from what ive been told :ugh2:

FWIW I had my camber stuff installed at the same time I had my coilovers installed and had my alignment done about a month later...

albeit not by choice; Westend alignment's schedule was full and I had to wait a full month for a proper alignment and corner balance :icon17:

Yes allow some time for it to settle. To install the camber arms, yourE going to drop the spring buckets again anyways, so I would just set the camber arms to the same length as oem when installing. The tech will adjust accordingly when you go to align it. However, if the shop is doing the install it doesn't really matter. I thought you were doing this yourself, that's why I suggested it.

thanks b15!

ive done this in the past in other cars, but since i live in an apartment complex and dont have all the tools at hand right now, ill let the shop do it this time around. plus ive gotten old and lazy :bowrofl:

Christmas in July over here too. Just installed new test pipes last night, next is UDP's and my swifts :excited:

:tup:

I also have ark! :)

How did everything turn out, P? All good?

Everything turned out great so far memphis, thanks for asking, couldnt be happier! Sorry i took so long to post pics, but have a new cell phone and getting used to transfering pics in the correct sizes from flickr to the forum. Shop installed everything today, did the alignment also, but will go back for re alignment in a few weeks. Washed the car and took some quick pics afterwards for you all. Will take better pics later! Also, wanted to take the time to give props to kamispeed and b2 autodesigns for their great customer service, prices, and most of all patience with a tough customer like me :tiphat:

Then you have exquisite taste, sir :tiphat:

Looks awesome, bro, and glad you're happy. One of the best mods you can do to your Z. To me, the handling is great and it takes bumps better than the stock springs.

Enjoy it and have a great weekend!

Thanks my friend! :tiphat:

Planning on driving her a bit tomorrow :driving:

Uh uh
 

I know this is pointless right now, but it might be of help to anybody planning on doing Swifts down the road doing their research, but with all due respect, you don't have to drop the spring buckets to pop in the camber arms if you want do it later on. The room is there and neither end of the arm shares the same points as either end of the spring bucket. You don't even need to drop the spring bucket to swap out the stock toe bolts for SPL/SPC toe bolts. You simply put a jack under the inboard end of the SB to hold it in place while you remove the stocker and slip in it's replacement.

If you don't mind me asking, what spacers did you end up running?
Looks like you stole my Z.

Thanks
