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

Save up for some coilovers.

YoungZ · 10-02-2012, 04:54 PM

they don't lower too much thats the best part. they are aggressive without being too low search the forum for some pics

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....

Couldnt find any research on this subject

Lmao, you obviously didnt even try. Ill skip right to the chase......SWIFT are the springs you want. Trust me and dont let anyone else tell you differently!

"Lmao, you obviously didnt even try." Is it sad that i actually did try?

lol.

Thanks for the positive feedback!

im real interested in swift springs. 90% sure ill buy them now. Still wish they would've been a bit lower though

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.

Swift will settle a little lower for sure

Go H&R if you want to be slammed...the are the lowest spring wise

fuct · 10-03-2012, 11:10 AM

on my nismo the tein springs dropped both front and back just a tad over 1-1/8".

just throwing that out there.

Z370Z011 · 10-03-2012, 12:33 PM

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

What size offsets are your F14s?

Tapatalk & such etc

YoungZ · 10-04-2012, 11:54 AM

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?

Alchemy · 10-05-2012, 08:27 AM

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.
