Swift springs review!!!!!

wheee! · 05-26-2011, 08:00 PM

yup they do... the rubber boots at the bottom of the spring.

cheshirecat · 05-27-2011, 06:47 AM

They're at the top also- just held on to the top bucket by metal shim things.

You will like the stance, I have that same setup,my pics with standard OEM tires on sport rims are on this thread, back a few pages.

Hey I got an update from Swift and it seems their shipment has been delayed for some issues I was not told about, anyways so it seems it'll be another week or two

Ron · 05-30-2011, 01:46 PM

not me

Did you install the rubber thing at the bottom of the spring?

ArtK · 05-30-2011, 03:45 PM

I just ordered my Swift springs, waiting impatiently for them to come in now.

It appears that there is quite a diverse opinion on whether or not to add a camber and toe kit for the front and rear of the Z once the swift springs are installed. I read through the majority, probably half of, the 44 pages and quite a few of you say no camber or toe is necessary to make proper adjustments the other half say yes. So my question is if I am putting on 20" wheels, and I'm sure many of you have already learned trial an error, should i put camber and toe adjustments on, and which brand is recommended. My Z is not a daily driver but when I do drive it I want to be able to drive without worrying about screwing up a $500 tire, or when I bring it to the track not have the car perform properly.
Not sure what to do?????

Depends on your goals. If you just want to go back to factory spec, you will need rear camber arms with toe bolts. The fronts should stay within spec.

The rears can usually be adjusted back to around 2.5* of camber, and for a lot of people that is acceptable. I'm leaving mine like that.

The deal is all 370Z's are not the same and some tolerate a drop better than others. You will just have to install, then get an alignment and see where you are at.

I was one of the lucky ones. No camber kits at all. -1.4 front and -1.9 rears.

ditto

but from all the sets I've sold (50+ springs) I've had majority not need the camber kit so chances are you won't either

stephen · 05-30-2011, 06:25 PM

i sure did ron, its a creaking noise

Ron · 05-30-2011, 06:32 PM

hmm, did you make sure everything was tighten?

PapoZalsa · 05-30-2011, 08:15 PM

I'm waiting to get paid in a few days to order mines plus the rear camber kit w/toe bolt. That way is all done at once. Then get the spacers and get an alignment after the springs settle.
