^Great deal from a very good vendor!

thanks!!!

Hey guys just got my car aligned.

Front: -1.75
Rear: -2.50

Should I invest in alignment kits?

Yes, front and rear

What is this? Weren't there quite a few people on here saying that camber arms are not necessary with this spring setup?

Wow, I came in under -2.0 in the rear and around -1.6 in the front. That is definitely off, especially the rear.

It's always going to vary from car to car. That does sound pretty off for the amount of drop though.

Yea I'm gonna get at the SPC rear kit.

The front is pretty close to factory specs right?

Anyone get corner weights stock and with these springs? I'm interested in how weight gets distributed. Anyone have actual specs on these springs? Anyone have them in stock?

Spring Drop: Front 1.2 / Rear 1.0 (inches)
Spring Rate: Front 10 / Rear 10.5 (kg/mm)

Those are currently in back order from Japan but they're coming in stock in march, I suggest you pre-order though, they are pre-selling quick.

Swift Spec-R Springs 370Z 08+

Okay, so i happened across ClemsonWill's photos; he also has Black Z with RE-11's and TE37's but has not lowered the car. So, this makes for a good visual for what the drop is like with the Swift springs. Hope you don't mind me comparing Clemson :) Here is his vehicle without springs:

And mine with the Swift springs:

And for an update, mine have not really settled anymore than what i originall got which is: 1.25" front 1" rear.

I purchased my Swift Sport Springs from Lou at Amplified Motorsports and installed today by the fine folks at AAM Competition up in Annapolis Junction, MD. I had just enough time to pick the car up and drive through rush hour traffic home but I really like it so far. The visual is great but I'm still reserving my opinions for the performance until later. Until then, here are some great photos taken by Jon at AAM Competition showing my Z before and after.

Well crap. Scrapped the cans today! Speed bump was not even that big, but I did not CRAWL over it like I usually do. Do yourself a favor and C.R.A.W.L. over every single speed bump or you can scrape the cans! Its not that bad but it still bothers me. Not sure it's even worth trying to fix it at this point. I might just paint them flat black anyway...

lookin good Zcarman!

Dude these black Z's are looking insane.
