Swift springs review!!!!!

ggiwin · 08-27-2011, 07:35 PM

now i dont know if i should get a rear camber kit.. How many people here run around -2.3 to -2.5 camber in the rears? How is your tire worn after a certain amount of miles?

tsolin01 · 08-27-2011, 11:39 PM

I've got -1.5 front and -2.5 rear also, it's been close to like 10k miles so far and the tires look ok. Gonna recheck alignment probably in a month or two but I don't expect any issues. When I get a chance I can take pics of what the tread looks like so far.

-2.5 is not an uncommon setup for the rear on a track/dd. I had intentions of going to the track and I purchase r-compounds and a slightly more aggressive alignment (I can post up alignment specs when I get a chance but my rears were set at 2.7), but I killed off a whole set of tires from just dd'ing because I was a little busy with life. The wear was even through the contact patch when I replaced the tires. I think the stickier tires have something to do with it as well.

Finally got my car aligned. I've been riding on these for 9-10 months, probably a couple thousand miles.

I didn't get a shot of the final specs, but we got the rear camber down to 2.6 and 2.4, corrected the toe for the front/rear, and left the front camber as is. No camber kit or toe bolts were used at all, and I'll leave the specs as is since it is not a daily driver

Got my Swift springs installed and put 1200 miles on and then had an
alignment, looks like I might need to add the camber kits, I noticed the car
drove better after the alignment, and the Swift's are pretty nice to, especially
over 40mph.

Actually I'd say you're ok with those numbers. Front is definitely fine as is. You could put a camber kit on the rear if you feel like it but -2.1 and -2.2 on the rears isn't bad.

anyone else have a slight rattle after the swift install? i have a very slight rattle that i can hear when i go over bumps from my front passenger side but cant seem to track down. sway bars are tight which i thought would be the culprit.

anyone have any ideas on what i could be hearing?

Ill be the first to say the common reply. Did you install the rubber pieces from the stock springs on the Swifts???

edub370 · 09-10-2011, 07:09 PM

yea i sure did. thats why im not really sure what it could be

Amuse370z · 09-12-2011, 05:25 AM

Is a drop like this (perfect imo) do-able with swifts?

Alchemy · 09-12-2011, 07:53 AM

^The space around the wheels looks similar to what it would look like on Swifts. Though The actual car body seems a bit lower, not sure if thats due to the Amuse kit or not. The Swift drop is not as extreme as others on the market. I never measured mine to see how much it actually dropped but I believe Swifts drop it about 1.25" front and a little less than that in the rear.

AlphaSnacks · 09-12-2011, 09:29 AM

That red car looks almost like stock drop, imo.

Amuse370z · 09-12-2011, 09:32 AM

The red car uses coilovers but the drop is not big at all, its similar to the swift springs so I was wondering if those with it can confirm whether the drop will look similar to that.

Yes, the body kit does make the actual car lower too

Alchemy · 09-12-2011, 10:03 AM

Here is my Z on swifts. This pic was just after installation. They def settled a bit more after I put some miles on it. IMO Swifts give it the perfect drop and the performance is amazing. Dont delay, just pull the trigger!!

edub370 · 09-12-2011, 10:09 AM

anyone..? thoughts on this mystery rattle... still havent tracked it down
