Swift springs and spacers
 

Forgive me if this is not in the right spot. I have a set of swift springs coming next month and also want to put spacers on the car, can someone please point me in the right direction as far as how wide I can go. Also do they make some type of spacer that does not require rotor removal for installation. Thanks!

I'm on swift springs with H&R 15mm front, 20mm Rear, stud replacement spacers. Check my member's journal for pics.

If you want a bolt on spacer, I think you need to run a 20mm minimum so the stock studs and lugs wont hit the back of the wheel. You can run a 20mm/25mm bolt-on set without an issue. This is assuming you are running the sport rays wheels with stock tire sizes.

I read something about 20mm in the front w/swifts rubbing the fender liner or something along those lines? can anyone verify if this is an issue?

Frankly,I'm a newbie to here...Why do we need spacers for?bigger tyre?smooth driving or?

it helps improve handling and looks

I see.So,with a spring and spacer will improve a lot?

FTW!

Hope to have the same setup soon....

I'm about to pre-order the Swift springs and want to go with 20mm front and 25mm rear H&R spacers. I keep hearing different things, Do I need stud replacements and/or a camber kit for the rear? Also where is the best place to buy these spacers? Thanks in advance.

Where To Order Spacers

You need to order the H&R DRS ones if you are looking for the ones with stud replacements. I have them for both front and back, a bit more work to install but safer option. You won't need a camber kit just from adding the spacers but you MAY if you are adding the springs.

Most install the spacers and springs, let the springs settle for a bit, get the alignment done, this is usually where you'll know whether you need camber kit or not - some forum members were within OEM specs and didn't need the camber kit (Hence $$ saved) others did and had to get the kit (SPC for the most part around the forum).

Here is a link you might or might now have come across Swift Springs Review. PM members such as CFZ, TJLAZER, JJ-NISMO, BOOST_LEE are excellent resources for the Swift springs and provide prompt replies. FUCT and JOHNNYDRAMA are also knowledgeable on the springs and spacers subjects. I hope that helps.

Thanks Birdman. If I don't want studs, am I still able to put on 25mms in the rear with the stock lugs?

Bigdog, yw. You can go with the 25mm DRM spacers on the back but NOT on the front. For the front, you'll have to go DRS and the highest for that one is 20mm. This info is available on the link I provided in my previous post.

2009 - 2011 370Z 25mm DRM
Fits Over Factory Studs
*** Will not fit Front 370Z Wheels *** HR5065662 5065662 $128.95

(These are the block spacers, look through the description in link for confirmation as to whether stocks lugs will do or not)

I went 15mm all around on my nismo and it looks great, will be posting up pics when I get car back. I hope that helps.

Yea I read that, I guess I was just confused because they don't sell a DRS 25mm rear spacers, Its only DRM.

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

I'm either gonna go 20s all around or 20 and 25, I saw a sport package with 20/25 and it looked fuking hot!

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....
