A $350 spring will not be comparable to a $1500 + coilover.....

not to the kwv3 but paired with koni Yellows I would say these are better than cheaper ($1000) coilover setups

The Swift/Koni combination is hard to beat -- IMO. Coilovers are a pain in the neck for me as I do not track my car and do not need adjustable height. The Swifts drop the car just enough so that it is still civilized on the street. As far as dampers, everyhing pretty much pales in comparison to Koni.

You will love them, I still can't believe how much of a positive difference it made to the overall handling dynamics of the car even with my Stillen sway bars set to aggressive.

Do you drive with your Sways at aggressive for daily? I want Stillen Sways but dont know what I should set me front and rears at?

Hey guys, new to the 370Z forum. I am about to buy some Swifts SPEC-R's for my G35 coupe. For those that have had the Swifts on for a good bit of time, how much wear and tear do they put on the stock shocks? On Swifts website, they said they recommend using high performance shocks, but its not required. Appreciate the feedback fellas!

Stock shocks will work just fine. Consider for replacemet the 2013 euro shocks.

I have two questions:
1. do you guys have any problems scraping on speed bumps?
2. does this give the 370z a similar ride to the old 350z?

thanks

Yep, just learn to go over them at an angle and will be fine.
Apples to oranges, cannot compare.

i am sure my question must have been answered but i do not have the time luxury to look for it. just a simple question anyway. thanks and the question is:

how long do we expect for the springs plus spacers to be installed if we let a shop do it for us? thanks!

wheee!

Spacers are a two hour job for a shop, another two for the Swifts... Or do it yourself in an afternoon and save a lot of money.... my:twocents:

Sounds better than the 400$ quote I got -_- from a vendor here

Wait but that's also to install camber arms so I don't know

Stock shocks with the swifts are perfectly fine.

If you want adjustment on the dampers Koni yellows are great, but if you want something height adjustable I would go with something like a KW V3.

The V3 are perfect for compression and rebound adjustment.

Thanks,
Mike
