Yup, after we chatted on the last run, I had to see what all the excitement was all about. Read up on previous Swift threads and was sold. Thanks Mike for introducing me to these sweet springs.

I will have to wait until April 11 for my installer to return from vacation. But they will be dialed in by my Run coming up on May 21. I just posted my alignment specs on one of the wheel spacer Eibach install threads. I will scan the alignment spec sheets and em to you. I am looking for the same camber setup as before with the Eibachs.

Can't wait for:

1) Swift springs to be delivered.
2) May 21 Brunch Run

Billy told me yesterday by mid next week or towards the end of the week. The sooner the better!

Swift tested their springs across the pond and on the American shores, you can be the first to review how they handle Euro roads!

Billy said they had about 10 unreserved coming in on the container, now they have 8 left.

To those still on the fence, you better get them while they last because the next container could be a long way off especially with the current situation across the pond.

for those who ordered springs from us, they just arrived in SWIFT in CA so they're currently being processed to be dropshipped/shipped here to be distributed. I'll keep everyone posted

If they drop ship from CA to CA then I believe they will have to charge you CA sales tax.

Saku, can you confirm if this is how it works?

I had some Stoptech rotors ordered for the 350Z from a vendor in FL and I was hoping to save the sales tax being it was purchased there. Just to find out I was charged CA sales tax because they were being drop shipped from City of Industry, CA where Stoptech is located. Sucked having to pay 7.75% sales tax.

A lot of companies have HQ in CA, so we are stuck charging CA tax (in our case it is 9.75%) if the item is drop shipped from CA. But sometimes when we have large orders, like the swift springs, we can ship them to FL via freight and then ship them back to CA to avoid CA tax. As for any orders to FL, even if they are drop shipped from out of state I have to charge local 6.5% tax.

Basically, we can sometimes avoid CA tax to CA customers, so its always good to ask

Yes I will be sure to post something when I get them on and open the car up on the auto-strata. Going to hit some good roads going up to Germany too when it comes time to track the car up there. Glad to see the shippment of springs has hit the states....almost there

No sales tax for CA customers...woot...woot. Thanks for looking out for us, and the savings out weigh the extra wait time.

What is fastest posted speed limit (mph) of the autostrada? 93mph??

Should be a good drive to Germany. What track are you going to?

Search of German Race Tracks:

EuroSpeedway Lausitz
* Hockenheimring
* Hockenheimring Short Track
* Nurburgring
* Oschersleben
* Porsche Leipzig
* Sachsenring
* STC Spreewaldring Training Center

Would love to see some photos of the 370Z with the Euro landscape.
