Paid $300 for the camber arms and toe bolts, not including tax and labor. Got the parts and install done at Corner 3 Garage. Good guys there.

Thank you sir. Now if only I had a place to turn a wrench and was actually good enough to do it myself. LOL

Lol my bro is mechanic on his off time and we installed my stuff....rear camber arms, traction bars and z1 transmission mount. And he did the alignment. Got to save money were you can. Got more suspension stuff to come!!!

some shop is trying to charge me $400 to change my trans, diff,power steering, and brake fluid. Yes and i already have all the fluids and gasket's. That sound little overpriced to y'all

Here's a pic of my Z with Swifts finally installed with SPL camber arms. No spacers or alignment yet. I always thought the pic of the Swifts on the dark cherry vert earlier in this thread was difficult to see the drop on the Swifts because of the poor contrast between the body and tire colors . Hope these ones are a bit better. 104

After weeks of back and forth between coils or springs(w/ camber arms), i have decided to go with the swift springs (because daily). what camber arms are you guys running? Some of you are running SPL, any other suggestions?

Your drop with the swift actually looks lower than the vert picture earlier in the thread. :tup: Looks good! Are the pics after the springs settled?

I'm currently deciding between the Swift and ARK GT-F springs. Is the drop with sport suspension and swift springs different than having the base version and swift?

The pics were taken a week later. I had driven it about 50 miles at that point.

I considered getting the ARK GT-Fs after I bought my Swifts (but before I installed them) and the sheer number of satisfied Swift owners on this site made me go with the Swifts. The improvement the Swifts make over the stock ride is the best thing about them. I disliked the compliance of the stock ride. I have no complaints about the ride now that I have the Swifts. Nissan should do their homework and go with a spring rate somewhat close to what Swifts have.
I do use a little more care now that my car is lowered so that's the only drawback. I can't really find fault with the ride.

I have no concrete knowledge regarding the drop between the Sport and Base versions, but I'm guessing there is no difference. Sorry.
Maybe someone else can confirm this.

Motordyne exhaust , yup oem tire : wheels. I don't scrape. Rarely the front plastic chin thingy. You need rear toe bolts. Going in Friday for alignment and spl rear camber parts

FLUJOKE 06-09-2015 06:23 PM

Ohhhh so u haven't gotten an alignment yet. Then yaaaa I'll wait on toe bolts. Heard that oem can get within specs. Nice post a post review again after allignment
