You should be fine with the swifts but it will never go lower than what most
people expect. If you want to just close the wheel gap but not slam the car,
I'd save the money and go for coils. It's a mistake that til' this day I regret
not doing and hastened on lowering the car with springs.

I don't really want to spend all that money on coil overs when I would not be using them to their potential since I don't track... Seems like lowering springs would be better to just minimize wheel gap. Although I do want a drop that will make the gap look even or the front a tad lower if it has to be. I just hate the rear being lower.

ill just throw in that with 305/30/19's on factory nismo wheels and tein spring drop with 15mm H&R spacers i still had a few mm to play with in the back.

the tein springs have a perfect 1-1/2" drop to me. even front and back..... only gripe i have is that they are a tad too stiff, thats all.

SPC kit... Would this be good to adjust for the drop of the swifts?

The setup is OEM Nismo wheels 19x9.5+40F and 19x10.5+23R. The front has
a 15mm H&R spacer while the rear has a 10mm H&R spacer. I'm lowered using
H&R springs wherein the front is dropped further than swifts, but leaves a big
gap in the rear where the swifts look better. For the tires, I went with Bridestone's
RE-11, with a 265/35/19F and 305/30/19R.

Currently, the rear has a fugly gap which can be taken cared with coils, but
I'm saving up money to buy my buddy's volks.

Nice ride and setup!
I have a mirror image of it except for the springs. I went with Swifts instead..

Finally Swift it.!!!

Hey Jay, here's my ride with the Swift Spec R springs installed earlier today., H&R 15mm spacers front and back. 265/305 Bridgestone RE-11's. Hope it help with ur decisions.
The spring will probably settle a bit in a few weeks so I assume that drop will be a little lower. Happy hunting!

Fronts 265/35/19
Rears 305/30/19
Haven't got camber kit yet. Gonna let Spring settle for a few weeks first cuz it will lower it a bit more. Plus I need a little time to whore myself out so I can get extra cash for it..lol

Thanx Xplicit... Yeah someone else told me to go in Fb and send a friends request. Which I did but still no response yet. Definitely looking forward to meet up with some Z owners in the area. I wanna track the vehicle next year and could use some pointers and advice.
