Here are some more things to consider: the drop is too great in the front for the H&R's. You need front camber arms for that which will significantly increase your costs. So the price of the Swift looks more attractive when you don't have to buy a front camber kit! I paid $360 shipped for my set from Kami Speed. Yes they cost more than the H&R springs. But they are a better spring. And whats $50-$100 more for a much better product?

My front camber is -1.77 and -1.92, which I don't think is too much. I've driven 5k miles and haven't noticed any inner wear but I don't expect any tire wear to be noticeable until around 12k miles, if at all. A non lowered z's oem tires should last at least 20k.

As far as h&r and swift springs, I really believe you need the entire kit, springs and struts that are designed as one to get a performance boost. I really don't see much benefit from just springs. And I don't know if people are aware that H&R springs are made in Germany and not Taiwan, not saying swifts are made there.
