Strut recommendations with Swift springs + SPC Camber arms F+R
 
I recently found out my oem strut is leaking oil, so I want to replace them, I'll also be installing SPC front camber arms and wanted to know a good brand for replacement shock/struts.
Thanks!

Bilstein

Would it be fine if I had Koni fronts and left my rear struts OEM in the time being? Don't quite have the $ to get all 4 but my fronts are leaking so it's urgent.

A bit concerned about DD ride quality after going with Swift + Koni, Swift springs were made with OEM setup in mind, so I worry the ride quality will suffer for daily driving.

You should get a better ride quality with Swift springs and Koni.

Most people who went with the Koni/Swift set-up love it for DD.

The H&R Sport Springs and Bilstein struts and shocks has great road quality for street driving if that is what you plan on doing with your Z. Plan on a good set of front chamber arms like the SPL front chamber arms. Also the Eibach Pro Kit Springs always do well for street driving. Just depends on what suspension you favor for you’re Z?

How much of the perks would I get out of just having front konis and leaving the rear oem for now? Ill have front and rear spc camber arms with them.

I would suggest you do both at the same time because the Swift spring are not as tall as OEM springs. The drop is about an inch so that will be a pretty big stagger back to front. I run about a .5" lower in the front than back but I run a square setup. You probably not going to feel to much in ride quality as most of the feel comes from the rear of the car and that may not be to your liking once you upgrade the front. Camber arms are good as you will be able to get your camber dialed in.

Makes sense, I'm also running a staggered setup w/ 9.5 in Front and 10.5 R. I've already ordered them so looks like I'll go with that for now and get rears in the near future.

Thanks for all the help guys. :tup:
