Swift springs review!!!!!

KamiSpeed

The minimum needed to match the front and rears are just the toe camber bolts. This will put you within safe specs. Front arms aren't really needed with these springs.

Been scrubbing all the blogs on this for a while now... I have a 2012 Nismo and just purchased Swift springs and H&R 15mm/20mm for my ride. I have stock rims and tires. Apparently everyone says this is THE setup to have..
I was going to just go 15/15 with no change in springs, but the rebound I was getting on the highway was starting to bug me and my GF a bit. SUPPOSEDLY, this will smooth that out a bit and tighten corner turns a lot.

My only worry is that I live in Michigan and our roads are not like Cali and Florida... oh well... wish me luck, pics to follow.

Let me know if anyone has the same setup. From what I hear, the ride should be perfect and hopefully I won't rub and/or bottom out!

I think the Swift/Nismo damper setup would be the best compromise over all the options for light track duty and street use. Base dampers are too soft and Koni's are a bit stiff. Finding some Nismo dampers in the classified section and grabbing some Swifts for them is a sweet and inexpensive combo IMO. Nismo owners are fortunate to have them already haha.

Same setup here with the exception of the 20mm spacers (I have 15 front and rear). I'm not sure I'd want to go any wider than 15 though, especially in the rear. I don't rub at all (haven't bottomed out yet either) and it did improve my ride a bit, however it is still a stiff ride....but I like it. Just got my KWV3's in the mail yesterday so about to go a tad lower...got a feeling I'm gonna be rubbing soon though...lol

Exactly. On the Nismo wheels, 15mm front and rear is PERFECT. Don't know why so many are stubborn headed about going 20mm. It sticks out too far. (unless you like that stretched out hella wide past fender look) The Nismo wheels are NOT the same size as Sport Ray 19's. 20mm is great on those wheels.

Here is 20mm on Nismo wheels

Swifts installed today along with everything else. Still has a baby gap in the back. If it don't go by by I will get Coils

Start saving. You will always have about an inch gap.

Just ordered my Swifts last night along with just two toe bolts. Hope that is enough. Not going to lose money on over-ordering if I don't need it. Done too much of that recently. o_0

I've read most of this thread and it seems people install and drive for a couple of weeks to let the springs settle. Ususally alignments are pretty damn important right after an install like this. Does it just not affect the Z to the point of making it dangerous to drive?

Just a tad nervous about doing that. Kinda like installing my oil cooler that's been sitting in my house for two months because I've never messed with something like that before. I'm such a b***h.

You'll be fine driving for a couple weeks, it's what I did with mine (only because it took me that long to find a shop around here that could get it on their lift..lol) It's not dangerous to drive (mine actually handled a whole lot better before the alignment due to all the negative camber...lol). FWIW, I didn't need the toe bolts, they were able to dial my camber in right at the limit of factory specs. Some people get lucky, some don't.
