Im probably one of the first people to purchase these springs, and I have not replaced my shocks yet. The car is a daily driver and the shocks are still running really strong. Now Im sure it depends on what roads you drive on, on a daily basis. I live in California and for those of you who live in Socal would understand but I drive about 70 miles back and forth from work. I live in the Orange County area and I work in LA. So the drive around OC is fairly nice, but once you get to LA the road get a little crazy. Especially off the 101N. Now Im sure a lot of people reading this on the east coast might Im full of crap compared to their roads, but none the less my point is that I have clocked in enough miles on the this setup to show its durability.

I will eventually buy the Koni shocks when the shocks feel tired, but these springs are made around the stock shocks and if the stockies can dampen these springs, and hold the test of time, I dont see what the reason is for me to change it out. At least for now. I dont think its a dumb idea to switch however. I have spoken to the tech guys at Swift and they do say that you will only improve the ride (handling characteristics) with upgraded shocks to better dampen the springs, but the stock will work just fine.

Gents, I have noticed that my shocks are beginning to feel a little worn compared to when I first put the Swifts on. I have the Nismo, which may be different than most, but has anyone else had issues?

Like CFZ, I live in Orange County, and drive my car often. I notice at high speed, when I hit a ridge or a bump, the shocks make a louder compressing noise, like air is being forced out of them. Any thoughts?

the squish sound is normal on twin tube shocks. How many miles have you driven on your shocks?

I was able to take my car for a long cruise today. It's the first one since I swapped back to my sport shocks and added the Swift springs. I was on the nismo springs and shocks.

I am extremely happy with the ride quality. The nismo suspension was stiff and very bouncy. The Swifts are definitely stiffer than the sport but it's a smooth ride. It's not bouncy at all. The car feels like it handles just as good as it did with the nismo. Maybe a bit better. Rather than feeling twitchy in bumpy corners it takes the bumps much better while staying planted. Basically it gives you a better feel in the corners.

The ride is a bit lower than I am used to but it looks good. I just have to adjust my driving style to avoid dips in the road. And I don't have any issues getting into my driveway which is a good thing.

I did install rear camber arms with my Swift springs. I wanted to take out most of the camber to get the best contact patch due to the fact that I have a lot of excess power.
My alignment specs came in well except for rear toe. I have the toe bolts but I didn't think I needed them. I will install them and get the alignment redone. I think my car would've needed at least toe bolts even if I didn't do the camber arms.

So far I am very happy that I went with Swift.

Just got my Swifts installed last Saturday, I used to be a die hard Tanabe spring follower since they did extremely well on two cars. Made the switch to Eibachs and it blew my struts in under 9 months on my g35, tried again for my EVO X and it rode like cr*p from day 1.

The Swifts I knew would be good due to all the positive details mentioned across many platforms but I was still slightly doubtfull. After having them on my car, I can say that I no longer have any doubts. The ride is firm without being bouncy, when I hit a bump along my way home mid-turn, it doesn't sway the car like being on a boat.

Strange but it does seem to soak up the bumps a little more comfortably but firm at the same time. Good looking drop, not too much and just barely enough clearance to get in my driveway.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I am installing Swifts and Konis on Saturday. I admit that I'm a little worried about how the car will ride an handle.

Looks like I've found the perfect springs. What camber kit would you guys recommend for the year and the best place to get a set of these springs? I see a few vendors in the market selling these.

The site sponsors will hook you up...all you have to do is ask them. I got good deals on Swift Springs, SPC camber kits, and H&R spacers. Just PM them for a price. Most accept PayPal too

Contact Lou at Amplified and he will set you up. He is active on the forums and always is fair with pricing.

I went with an SPL rear camber kit. So far so good.

couple of pics to try and illustrate hose swifts make the car sit:







btw these things ride so much better than stock. take out all that jittery bouncy feeling u get when hitting mid corners bumps. that was my biggest beef with the factory springs

Since we have been selling the swifts, we havent seen any 370z's that have NEEDED to replace shocks! Many of our customers still say that their shocks feel mostly the same as when they first installed the swifts.
