Probably the Hankook Ventus V12. I need the traction in wet weather and the longer tread life is appealing. Like this thread.... http://www.the370z.com/wheels-tires/...tml#post687384

I'm thinking of ordering the Swift Sports springs and 20mm rear/15mm front spacers. I have no idea as to what the install is like or how complicated it is. I'm already ordering other parts (Stillen CBE & G3) through my dealer and they are doing the install. I am howerver, a little skeptical about getting them to intall my spring/spacers. Do you guys think that the guys at the dealership are capable of doing this properly. If not, what type of installer should I be seeking?

You can do all of these installs yourself in your home garage with a jack and two jackstands.... You will need a set of spring compressors though which you can rent or buy. Or borrow!
If you plan on bigger tires (305 rear - 275 front) then the 15 and 20mm spacers are best. If you are staying stock sizes with the Swifts then go 20 and 25 on the spacers. I have the 15 and 20's and plan on getting bigger rubber later so I'm set.

Thanks for the advice! Much appreciated. I will be keeping the stock wheel setup so I guess I will order the 25mm rear/20mm front. Will this bring the wheels flush with the edge of the wheel well (the look I want), or will it flare out further?

Will be close to flush with room to clear the wells. The added camber will compensate for the extra width of the spacers.

15mm all around on Nismo with stock tires is the best combo; 15mm front 20mm rear work best on touring/base trims. Beyond that it will stick out and kick more dirt on your car, even more if you decide to go with larger tires.

Just finished this project myself. 15 and 20mm spacers with swift springs. I did the entire thing by myself with a jack and a couple of stands. It probably took me 10 - 12 hours. I'm not very experienced working on cars so I got hung up a few times and and made a couple mistakes I had to correct. An Impact wrench is a must and a lift would have been really nice.

Springs are both for look and performance; once you drop the car you DON'T have to add spacers BUT the wheels will look even more tucked in. Spacers help get the aggressive stance and push the wheel further out.

Can anyone please tell me if i just need the camber arm and or toe bolt. So far I read that only the camber arm is needed. Is this correct? Also SPC or SPL? I'm ordering swift springs tomorrow along with 20/25mm spacers.

Has anyone done the 20front and 25back spacers on swifts? Have you had any rubbing on the front when making sharp u-turns or even with a drop on the road? Just trying to decide between 15&20 or 20&25 with swifts....im on stock tires with 19's, sport package wheels
