Be careful -- too much toe can make the car handle VERY unpredictably. If the car feels twitchy, I'd go back and have them at least dial in the toe to about zero now, and then re-align/adjust after it settles. Its dangerous to drive around with too much toe.

Yea ur right I noticed how much more squishy they were compared to the nismo springs. I typically drive slow in parking lots and over bumps and daily driving. The rear toe was crazy out of spec. The shop literally just slapped them on. It's all good now though I drove cautious until the alignment. The alignment was a night and day difference, feels alot better now.

I think it could've come out a little more in the back but I think it might've felt like it stuck out too much toward the bottom and it would've bugged me a lot, so I I'd do it again lol. Also I have fast intentions exhaust which hangs super low in the back, but I've been ok so far going in and out of driveways, parking lots, and over speed bumps. You should go for it since you have the springs already!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Is it safe to drive this set up in the rain? Hadn't thought about that before and haven't had to drive in the rain yet since I got lowered haha but is it harder to drive in the rain with the negative camber versus stock?

Swift springs are great, but after I installed aftermarket wheels, the tire-to-fender gap was much more noticeable. In fact, my 350Z on conservative Eibach Pro Kit springs looks lower than what it really is next to my 370Z on Swift springs. I purchased Ark GT-S springs but haven't installed them yet. For reference:

I consider this one of the best mods ive done to my Z and it doesn't hurt that they are inexpensive I couldn't be happier with the ride quality and stance I got I would highly recommend these springs

Help me out guys, what exactly do i need for rear camber adjustments. SPL has the rear arms, links, lock out kit, toe arms, toe bolts. Which items for sure do i need to buy. Do i buy the arms and lock out kit or toe arms and camber arms. Im a little confused. Thanks
