I have nismo springs and struts and the ride is real rough. If I were to go with these springs and go back to my sport struts what can I expect the ride to be like? Would it be closer to the sport ride or closer to the nismo? Just trying to see if it's worth it to swap.
If I do swap I could probably sell my nismo springs and struts for close to what it would cost me to get the swift springs.

Don't get me wrong though, I love em and wouldn't go back. I'd say the swifts fall somewhere between the base ride and the nismo as far as roughness. (I rode in a stock nismo twice but never drove it myself fwiw)

I love my swifts but for some reason cannot track down the reason why they make a very slight squeaking noise from inside the cabin on the front springs when im driving real slow and when Im pulling into my driveway. If Im cruising at normal speeds I dont hear a thing. I have had them reinstalled twice, the lower "sleeve" is on there like the instructions said....not a big deal but sort of annoying when driving in parking lots.

I had my Z aligned a month after I installed my swift springs. I opted to install rear camber arms and now my rear left is at -1.7 and rear right is -1.6. a week after I had the alignment done I had my Z serviced and the rear left tire rated at 5 and the rear right tire rated 4 for thread dept. now I ordered a new set of Hankook V12s and I was wondering if I need to have an alignment again after I install the new tires or should it be fine without?
