Swift springs and spacers

NISMO's look better with the 15's all around, sport package looks best with 15 and 20 IMHO

I'm gonna stick with the 15 and 20's because I will switch to 275 fronts and 305 rears when the stockers wear out....

How long does it usually take to get the swift springs in after your order?

Do you guys have any suggestions for what spacers to run on the base 18" setup?

I would recommend 20mm all around for base 18s, that will push the wheels out and make them even front and rear while removing making them nicely flush with the fenders.

No problem, always happy to help! Here are some shots of my newly installed sport package rims with 20mm spacers at all 4 corners. I also have a fair amount of negative camber, the fitment is PERFECT:

Nope, no camber arms whatsoever. I told the alignment shop to get it as close to factory spec as possible and the camber is somewhat aggressive (within factory spec) but that is what I am looking for as turn in and handling response is much better now.

Hi, I know this is an old post, tried to send you a pm but, your box is full.

I saw you have a very similar set-up as to what I'll be running. I've got a 2010 w/ sport pkg.

I'm going with the 20mm H&R for all 4 corners & Swift spec-r springs…along w/ the FI CBE, GTM oil cooler, Stillen G3. and UpRev tune

All work is being @ SpecialtyZ here in soCal.

I see you're not using any camber kit at all. That's what I'm debating…Do I need the SPC combo kit or not?

This is my daily driver, probably not gonna track her but, maybe. I do some spirited driving in the twists though.

I'd love to get your thoughts and what your experience has been w/o the camber kits.

Thanks in advance.

I don't have a camber kit...almost stock specs after alignment. The camber looks pretty much stock too. I can't comment on tire wear. It's only been about 500 miles since the install & about 200 since alignment.
I kinda wish I would have done 20mm's in the front like you are.
