Swift springs review!!!!!

Tigger

Gotcha. Well here's to hoping!

On the same note, I plan on doing a 20 minute track session at Hyperfest on the 15th. If these are installed late next week, should I get the alignment prior to the session or will it be too soon or will I be better off with the extra camber? I'd really like to hit the track with the springs on. Springs on the base/touring are too bouncy. I'd feel ridiculous on the track otherwise. lol

NO need for me to save. I can buy the Coils right now just making sure I really want them before I pull the trigger plus I am not home to see the car so I am just going off photos and my brother word.

Pushing things kind of close there. I'm not sure I'd want to drive 4-5 hours up and back with a track session in between without that alignment. You may end up needing a new set of tires when you get home...lol. If it were me and I "had" to have the springs on for Hyperfest, I'd set up an alignment the day before I left. Worst case scenario, they aren't completely settled and you gotta pay another $75 alignment down the road. Sometimes ya gotta pay if ya wanna play.... Just my opinion though.

Oh I agree completely. No problem doing another alignment. Just trying to go with the best approach. Thanks!

Here's my Lady in (Magma) Red on Swifts, I was thinking on spacers, 15mm on front and 20mm on the back, is this a nice combo? Don't want to go too wide in front cause of the bad roads here in Puerto Rico.

I have the exact setup but have not installed any of it yet. Wanted to hear a few more opinions as most say this is THE best setup... If you get it done, post some of the pics for us still standing on the curb biting our nails...

I'm running H&R 20mm up front and 25mm in the rear. The roads aren't exactly perfect here in Guam, but I'm still very satisfied with the spacers.

Hey brotha, I read a post that you posted earlier about you getting passed the noise or something to that effect. Just wondering what noise you talking about. I ordered the same springs and still waiting for them to arrive. Also, who did your install? and who did your alignment? Thanks in advance.

My car on swifts. Iphone picture sorry for the quality. Just for those with roadsters...I would not go any lower. I'm scraping just barely over small speed bumps-must angle over.

I have Tein S-Tech springs on my Z. I want little more low! Currently I am lowered .9"F and .7"R, well thats according to the specs. I know they set and get a bit lower.

I was thinking H&R but that seems too low. The Swifts are a pretty similar drop though. By switching to the Swifts I would drop .3" all around since the is drop 1.2"F and 1"R. Here is how my car sits now on Teins.

Wheel/Tire specs:
19x9 ET15 F & 19x10.5 ET20 R - 15mm spacers in the rear
255/35/19 F & 295/30/19 R

What do you guys think? Will it rub or be too low for DD?

Thanks!

Sorry for the late response. Yeah, I get some squeaking sounds from the coils compressing but that's totally normal for aftermarket springs. Even the Eibach Pro Kit I had on my other car made the sound, though not as noticeable. Maybe I simply got used to the sound or I play my music louder, but I rarely hear it.

A Nissan dealership installed my springs and performed my alignment. I really wish the springs were lower though. Regarding spacers, I'm thinking about switching from 20mm to 25mm up front. The tires slightly rub on the tab between the bumper and fender liner during full suspension compression anyways (while going straight)--might as well go wider.

I DD my car and I am on Swifts. To me it is the perfect drop. If you want to be low as possible with springs then H&R is the only way to go. To me the H&R would be too low for a DD as I already drag my front chin spoiler getting in an out of my driveway let alone certain parking lots with dips n stuff.

For you since you show your car I think coilovers would give you the best of both worlds. You can drop it for a show weekend and then raise it up for DD purposes. Just my

I've been on Swifts for a few months now (they've been great). After putting some nicer wheels on, I've been thinking about moving to coilovers. I just wish I had that ability to drop it another half inch for showing and have it a little higher and softer for DD.

Yeah, your only choice here would be coilovers. Just make sure you choose the right type of spring rates depending on what coilovers you choose so you can still have an enjoyable ride.

What wheels are you running now?

Yeah, I've been reading over the reviews here on the forum but honestly, I'm not making much progress on figuring out what I want/need.

I'm running the Work Emotion CR Ultimates... the new 19".

Here's a close up of the rear. That's a lot of gap for my taste.
