Well drats....I thought we finally had a tried and true response for you guys on the neccessity of kits or not.

I had to install the toe bolt to get my back into spec. With the added toe bolt, now it gives me more adjustability. So go figure, back to square one. I cannot believe all cars are off spec that much after installing the springs. Current tire wear might contribute to the varied alignments we have seen.

Perhaps- I was aligned on stock tires. I put on some 305's this week and will be aligned with them next. It'll be interesting to see what the specs look like before/after.

I have a question about tire size and alignment....
My car came with the 18" rims and tires(225/50-18 and 245/45-18) now I have 19" rims with 245/40-19 and 285/35-19 which is the same size as the 370 Nismo; I take my car to NTB to do the alignment, when NTB does the alignment they do it according to the tire size, so which tire size should I do the alignment under the 18" or the 19" ?
Sorry if it is a stupid question but I'm new at this.
Thanks.

Sweeeet, springs have departed Bloomington, CA fedex facility! Godspeed my little springs :excited:

Thanks KamiSpeed

Thank You Kamispeed for the Swift Springs!!

yup, all USA orders should have tracking numbers :) check your email and check your KamiSpeed account

Yeah, Ill finally have mine Thursday. Hoping to install them this weekend. Just need to get my hands on a spring compressor. Cant wait to see how these change the handling characteristics. Hope they are worth the 9 week wait.

rent one at autozone

Yeah heard you could do that. Any idea of the cost??

its free! :D You actually pay full price and when you're done just take it back and they refund the money. It's like 60 bucks

Thats awesome:tup:

Has anyone heard anything from any other vendors about when their orders will be shipping? I am waiting on an update for an order I placed in mid February.

I've not read this whole thread so sorry if this has already been answered. I have swift springs and 15/20mm spacers on order. I got the DRS style from H&R so I think I should be good there. Anyway, whats the best route to do the install? Should I do the springs first, wait for them to settle (2 weeks or so) and then do spacers and alignment? Or should I install springs and spacers at the same time, wait for it to settle and then do alignment?

Thanks,
Matt

Just a note, I tried using the rented spring coil compressor from auto zone and it was too difficult with the swifts. They are hard to compress and the coils were very close to one another. It was way easier using a during compressor at a shop.

Buddah, you can do the spring and spacer install at once if you like, or you can wait. The stud replacement type will require you to remove the bake caliper, so you might as well do it while the car is up in the air already.
Just be sure to have both installed before the alignment and drive on the springs for a few hundred miles.
