So having looked at these for a while and seeing what other people are getting in their after installation alignments w/o camber kits, I think this may jump up on the list of mods I have planned. If I was able to find an alignment shop that would let me sit in the car while doing the alignment (preferabbly with ~1/2 tank of gas) do you think that would affect the alignment numbers much?

If you go to an alignment shop that is familiar with performance minded alignment settings, they normally factor in for driver body weight. At least that's what the performance shop I had mine done at did, they asked how aggressive I'd like and I told them to keep it performance minded.

Valley Pacific in Canoga Park, the guys there weren't the friendliest but they did a good job which is what matters at the end of the day.

It would be awesome for someone to throw down a GB on this product. If my car wasnt off the road for the winter I would prob have snatched these up the day they came out and had them installed. Woulda loved to be the first dude rollin on a Koni/Swift setup.

Hey guys, have a quick request for some of you:

https://apps.facebook.com/poty_photo...tries/42449320

if you have a facebook account and are happy with your Swift Springs please vote above.

We're trying to make the Swift Spec-R Springs for the 370Z the Volusion product of the year for being an awesome product and being one of our most successful products we sell online. Thanks to everyone here on the370Z we've sold about 100 sets of these babies in the past year and we hope to sell another 100 this upcoming year
