general consensus is that swift springs are excellent if you just want to lower your car for the looks and people have claimed better handling as well.

I just ordered the Powertrix R/T set. He's got a hell of a deal on them right now! I've ridden in multiple cars with them and I was convinced. They rode like stock but would bite corners hard! Those were the S/S but I wanted something a little more track oriented.


POWERTRIX FIRST EVER 370z COILOVERS GROUP BUY from $850.00

NO MONEY = ' S SWIFT SPRINGS you'll be very happy with the ride and look. do a sway bar as well. (an adjustable one) also camber arms if you plan on tracking or doing more with the car later on.
