I got mine from you best lowered spring I have ever owned on any car I've had.

Thanks:hello:

Photos due out soon.

NP glad to be of service :tiphat:

dang, evy1's getting swiftified...

its what all the kids are doing these days :eekdance:

For anyone interested, post-install, my alignment specs were:

Driver Front:
Camber: -1.4
Toe: xx
Caster: 5.4*

Pass Front:
Camber:-1.5
Toe: xx
Caster: 5.7*

Driver Rear:
Camber: -3.1
Toe: .31

Pass Rear:
Camber: -3.1
Toe: .05*


Only modification I made to the fronts was setting toe to zero for both front tires. Turn in is significantly crisper, and the car is MUCH more responsive. I doubt most dealers will align the car like that, but I HIGHLY recommend it.

I aligned the rear tires to .13* of toe, and -2.6* of camber on both sides.

Somewhat similiar to my set up. My ideal set up for toe is that, although the dealer was reluctant to straighten out the toe to zero. I had my redone and brought the rears out on camber , more like my previuos setup. Althought the toe will have to wait for a redo.

My springs had actully settled again after the first alignmment. Spring install + 260 miles = 1st alignment. Then after 120 miles = 2nd alignment and the adjustments did change in the short period of time. I would suggest to anyone getting Swift springs to drive them about 500 miles before your first alignment. You will save $$.

As I have said previously my ideal setup would be: Fr -1.3 to 1-.5 toe at Zero and Rears at -1.0 to -1.2 and toe at 0.2


Red_Zed,nice setup, into the fun zone. I would be curiuos to what the tires look like after 500 miles with this setup as I am running a bit conservative on the toe.

1-1.2* of camber is far too mild for the rear IMO. I think around 2 would fit well with 1.5* up front.

Not if you are running -1.3 to -1.5 in the fronts. Ideally you want a 0.3 difference from the fronts to the rear with the fronts having MORE negative camber than the rears. IMO.

Yes, you want more camber front than rear, but 1 degree Is far too upright for how the car is setup.

Here is what my Swifts looks like - installed 8 days ago (not too much driving). No alignment yet.

Well, with the limitations of camber on the fronts (non adjustable) the best we could get in negative camber is -1.5 Fr. Therefore to keep the fronts with MORE negative camber the rears would have to be set at no more or less but right at -1.2.

Front Control Arms will open up much more possiblities with adjusting the camber +/-.

speedworks, the wheel tire combo you selected really fill up the wheel well. Stance looks great. :tup: What is your first driving impression? Were you on stock springs prior to Swift?

I haven't driven it yet with the Forgestars, but I did have OEM before the Swifts. My first impressions, are that they are great. You hear on this site that they are better (softer) then OEM on normal driving, but I don't agree with that; I think they are equal or maybe a smidge stiffer then stock. As for aggressive driving, they are definately stiffer, less body roll. I like the overall stance of the vehicle a lot, and the ride is great. Having driven on many different mfgrs of springs over my lifetime (even owned a speed shop for 5 years), I think Swift has a done a great job on developing these springs - especially since they are made for the OEM shocks, which in the long run is more affordable. Even though they cost more out of the box, overall they are cheaper because they don't require new shocks (they should market that!). I think Swift has a home-run here, and you can tell because everyone who is buying just springs is going that way.

I'll chime in and agree with speedworks that I find the ride a tad firmer on the small stuff as well. I expected that, and I am not disappointed. The reduction in body roll is substantial and the overall feel is excellent. Nothing but compliments from the other Z owners in our club and have still not rubbed or scraped over anything!
