Swift springs review!!!!!

Hey guys. I've been sitting on Swift springs for a few months. The last owner had them put on. I just replaced the factory Bridgestones with some Hankook V12's a few days ago and it was time for an alignment. The car REALLY needed an alignment. I guess the last owner never had one done after the spring install. The difference is night and day. After the alignment the car feels much more stable in the rear end. I have 15mm spacers and managed to get the alignment within spec without a camber kit. I'm on the edge of "within spec" so I may end up buying the toe/camber bolts anyway but I wanted to share my numbers for those of you still on the fence.

I'm looking to get the Swift springs and a rear camber kit. What time does Kami Speed open?

For real? 1.4F & 2.2R?
I really want to get the swifts but i just as equally want to the ARK exhaust which already hangs low.

He's referring to his camber, not amount of drop

I have the swift springs with ARK exhaust look fine not much of a drop maybe around 1" .Its the front that Im always having the lower chin of the sports package always rubs on angled/steep roads.

How far off the ground is the LOWEST part of your exhaust? Mind posting a picture?

I'll try to measure from ground to the lowest tip of the exhaust and try to post a picture. Believe me I've been trying forever to post a picture here.
I do not know why it doesn't work with my computer whose probably as old dog as I am already good to be exhibited in a museum.
But I will try my best buddy.

Btw I drove the Z for about 100 miles this 1030pm and tried to make the spring settle down. Correct me if I'm wrong....With the swift springs it feels more comfortable (I mean Less Jarring) than the OEM springs...Felt really good.
Plus the new V12's are far more quiet than the REO50 Bridestone!
Although being used to Karting I do miss the noise and much of the spine jarring bumps and road feel. But to each is own.

Now the Z feels like a sedan!!! huhuhu.
Next is to test it in the Tail of the Dragon and see how the spring and tires grips and handle the twist and sharp curves!
"Better than sniffing COKE" IMO

Stay away from DRUGS it can kill you!!!...The Z can bite you hard but worst case you'll die with a smile in your freaking face! IMO
