Never rode in a Z with them but i've heard good things.

being real here, the swifts are head and shoulders above the other options from a dynamics perspective.


The tein's are prone to sagging after a while. Most guys I've seen running them are dealing with sag 6-12 months in.

Eibachs are fine, but there's a reason most guys dump them for something else.


I was initially scared of the swifts due to DD-ability of the drop, but I was very glad I went with them. I swapped them out for V3's, and even with that direct comparison, the swifts teamed with the stock tokicos held their own very well.

Did you let the Z go with the v3's?

hell no. I only borrowed them to see if those + ridiculous camber could set the Z up the way I liked.

Cool deal, and the swifts with the stock shocks were pretty damn good.

I'm guessing it didn't since you're now driving a 5.0 :icon17:

hmmm ive had teins on my nismo for over a year. no sag.... neither did the IS300 i had that used tein springs for 5 years. (both cars driven every day of the year) I WILL SAY THEY DID SETTLE IN THE FIRST WEEK OR TWO ABOUT 1/4-1/2"

my only grip about the springs are the high spring rates.
