I just wish swift had a 2 inch drop. Or at least 1.5 in the rear instead of just 1inch

Let me clarify... I removed his Teins and installed the Swifts for him... the Teins were rubbing in corners and bumps because they were too soft. The Swifts fixed all his problems....

I have Tein springs

I would have went with Swift but it was lower, Tein is the mildest drop out of Swift, H&R and Eibach

I plan to do more lapping next year so I'm going to upgrade to BC Racing or Tein Coilovers.

I have 19inch rims right now. I just want that flush look you know?.. Maybe not perfectly flush, i just feel like theres a major gap right now.. Or, are my rims just too small? Someone told me these cars looked better with 20" ive never seen them on a Z, but they seem huge lol

Its low enough dude. I scrape all over the place. Any lower would be a disaster. Screw low anyway, its all about performance and Swift out performs all the others. Its a no brainer. Place the order.

Swifts on Koni Yellows just for refernece

looks awesome alchemy, pretty similar to mine! i got nismo wheels now but thinking ordering Weds S55am (matte black) +24 front +12 rear offsets I'm assuming yours should be fairly close to that?

Hey guys, thanks for the props My wheel sizes are 19x9 +20 front and 19x11 +23 rear. The front fits perfect as far as offset goes. It wouldnt hurt to add a 5mm spacer of something in the rear for a slightly better fitment. +23 is the lowest they make on that 19x11 wheel.
