question though ... how come the top pic has no splash guard but all the rest do ?

That's an optical illusion, the wheel is cranked and it is hiding the splash guard.

Here are the differences between tire OD. They are much different than stock and that is where the variation in ride height comes from. I will post pics of the car with the stock wheels and tires so you can see the difference in ride height.

Bridgestones

Front - 26.8
Rear - 26.5

Hankooks

Front - 25.3
Rear - 25.9

*** The Swift Springs 370Z Lowering Springs are Linear Springs***

Explanation from Swift:

- They appear to be progressive, but with the weight of the car, the tight coiled portion is actually fully compressed keeping the spring rate linear.

This was done because they did not want to have any slack on the shock and spring when the shock is fully decompressed. This is beneficial when driving onto a driveway or going over heavy dips.

Good question, we work close with Swift Springs on all of our race car setups, so we were really excited to hear that they were going to start manufacturing lowering springs as well.

We prefer to test as many parts that we offer as we can and this was a great opportunity to try them out.

That being said, I think these springs ride amazing on the street. They feel great in the corners and we will post a full review when we get them out on the track.

But we expect great things and we are very excited about this new product.

Let us know if you have any other questions and we would be happy to help.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to the profile pictures on stock tires, that will be great.

I took the tire diameter difference into account when I viewed the pics, and I pre ordered a set of these springs already. I'm glad to hear they ride great!

Yeah, you will be very happy with them and ride height should be about perfect on stock wheels and tires or stock OD.

Car looks great! I want a set of lowering springs, and the white wheels make me want to powdercoat my stock 19"s white.

Let me know about the lowering springs. We are taking pre orders for the next batch because this shipment has already sold out!

These springs are by far the best out on the market right now. I will do a full review on them. I have tracked them over the weekend and let me tell you, they are amazing. They are a good amount stiffer than the nismo rates (no body roll) but they feel smoother than stock driving on the streets.

Stance is good and even and I couldn't be happier.

-have to throw a big good job to Swift on their R&D for the product.

Will hopefully have the stock wheels back on the car tomorrow, so I will shoot and post right after.
