Lowering springs

Z370Z011 · 10-02-2012, 10:40 AM

Hey guys I couldn't find any research on this.. But i was considering lowering springs, any suggestions as to whats a good brand worth my money?
Or are they all pretty much the same thing? I used to have tein on my previous car. Any thoughts on how those might hold up in the Z?

Mannnn I don't know I've looked this up a dozen times and there are tons of threads on this already. I don't have any but a lot of people seem to like swift springs. There are a lot more other options as well out there.

Really????! I couldnt find anything

what do you type in the search engine? Ive kept trying, and like you said, swift sounds like there good. But thats all ive found. It was a review someone did on the forum. They sound promising.

Swift and H&R is what i have heard about.

more people have swapped out FROM something else to Swifts than any other... Swifts are the best followed up by going to coilovers next if you want more control....

no complaints from my tein springs here.....

Teins are a little softer than the Swifts. Check out Chinook on line. He has a set of Teins for dirt cheap I think. He swapped out to Swifts earlier this year....

Well ive been doing some research on the swift springs and they seem promising. Everyone seems pretty satisfied with them, so ill prob lean on over to those

X2 For Swift they are very nice! not too much drop and very compliant you'll be pleasantly surprised by them.

Do you know what would be the best place to purchase them? I found a couple sites but not too sure if there reliable websites.

he actually said the complete opposite. especially since the tein springs have the highest spring rates.

"Just switched my Tein springs for the Swifts last weekend and I find them to be a lot better for driving and comfort!"
