I m asking bc the stock shock made for height of the stock spring. and if I put the lowering spring on I don't think the stock shock would last that long..or ride good well let me know thanksss
and yes I know bout coilovers but I like spring more, install in one time no adjust or anything

Swifts are designed to work with stock shocks according to them. When they go, buy coilovers. IMO

I have them, I like the drop but would've liked to go lower. H&Rs will do so but performance wise Swifts are better.






Also check this thread: http://www.the370z.com/brakes-suspen...-reviewed.html Tons of info and pics.

I haven't measured it really. I bought SPC front and rear camber arms and toe bolts.

Swifts drop around 1.2" front and 1" rear. And the Nismo chin scrapes like a mofo, so I don't know how you Nismo guys can/want to go lower!

In my opinion the swift's drop perfectly and combined with the performance, its a really hard deal to break!

I've got the swifts and I love em. Pics and info are in my journal.
I agree the drop is just a little over an inch, and you can tell.
I did put spc camber kits on (front and rear) although there are a lot of posts from people who did not.
