No I didn't buy them, I had installed the bump stop wrong when it fell out of the dust collar and that's what caused my noise. Now there is no sound and it rides great, sometimes I forget it's lowered because the ride is as good if not better than stock. I almost wish it was 1/4" lower up front and 1" lower in the rear. I loaded the Z up for a trip, put my wife and daughter up front with suit cases in the hatch just to make sure I won't rub when fully loaded and it looked perfect plus no rubbing.

That does look a little high in the rear. Even for not yet being completely settled.

There might be some binding of the rubber bushings at the pivot points in the rear. Was the suspension at it's normal/rolling compression when you tightened everything down?

Still rocking swifts. About time you installed yours Francis!

Looking forward to the change! I'll be sure to post my experience and impressions.

I installed mine on the weekend. Took a while with the camber arms and toe bolts but the ride is so much better. I can whip around corners with no body roll. I got an alignment just to get everything straight but am going to get another in a week or so once everything settles.

KaienZ34: what is your camber in the back because if you go more negative it should eliminate the gap a bit?

This is a great thread. I was looking at buying some springs and looked at all other brands but was leaning more towards swifts and this just made it easier for me to decide. Swift springs it is!

Stock spec camber in the rear with SPL camber arms.

Will the Swifts fit on the 370z Roadsters will no probs????

I've been running on Swifts for quite a while now and have been loving it, but I'm wondering if anyone has gone from Swifts to a coilover setup?

KW V3's have always been my dream setup, but now that I'm considering gettin a set, I'm worried that I might not like the change from linear springs to their progressive springs. Has anyone ever regretted the change?
