I had tried many times to get any news from Koni but they never seem interested. It's a shame too, Swift springs paired with a set of Koni yellows would be amazing!

koni pretty much confirmed they aren't offering anything for the car.

That is ok with me as I was not totally pleased with Koni yellows on my Z33. Then again maybe it was because they were paired with H&R springs. No matter how I dialed in the compression on the yellows the car did not handle no where near as good nor look as good as the swift paired with stock shockers on the Z34. There might still be hope IF Koni were to make em for the Z34 and then paired with Swifts.

Did I hear somewhere or was it BS that the 2012 Z34 was going to have a reworked strut? If so I would be interested in testing a pair with my Swifts.

Hey guys, I got swift springs installed last week at the shop on my Z. I notice yesterday that every time I drove to a very smooth curve I hear the noise form the spring especially on front driver side. I don't blame that if I drove to drive way to hear that noise since drive way has more curve shape. But for the smooth curve i hear that noise too. Do u guys ever had that problem with swift on your Z? One thing i notice is the springs I got from swift didn't have plastics/rubber between the coils as in pics above. Is it the reason why?

haven't heard about anything getting reworked for 12, but who knows?

Your issues were almost certainly due to the h&r's. the yellows are top notch.


you need to move the rubber pieces from your stocks onto the swifts

My stock springs only have front rubbers. Not for the rear springs though. Do u think the noise issue something to do with the rubber pieces or something else.

Yes, there is a big picture with large print instructions in the box telling the installer to
swap them front the stock front springs to the new aftermarket front springs, my
installer did not see this very large picture and left them off, but I got lucky and have no
noise coming from them after 2k miles now.

Just did this install with my friend. What a PITA. You have to use the stock rubber pieces on the bottom of the springs.

Yup

Yes, my installer use all the stock rubber pieces for front (all the way to the top of the spring) and rear rubber at the bottom of the springs. The plastic or rubber I was talking about which came with the spring coils (clear plastic on the spring) which mine didn't came with the spring. The question is, is it the reason why my spring has noise when i drove to a smooth curve shape??

Mine didn't come with that either, that clear rubber piece on the picture above. But the stock rubber piece on the bottom has to go in the proper spot...

the rubber grey thing actually goes on the bottom of the front springs to avoid metal to metal contact between the spring and the shock. There is already a rubber bump stop on the top.

Yes, I checked it, the installer put the stock rubber piece in proper spot on both front and rear. So without that clear rubber piece on the spring as the pics above, Do u have any noise from the spring when u drive to very smooth curve?

I will put that gray rubber piece from front nismo springs to the swift spring and see it fix the noise issue.

it should, make sure you put them on the bottom of the spring.

Unfortunately my swift spring didn't came with rubber thing on the coil of the springs (top). I will try to put gray rubber on all the cretical locations anyway.
