Swift springs, SPL rear camber arms, toe bolts, and lock-out bolts. Very happy with the results. Initial alignment was performed Monday and I'll have another one done tomorrow, now that the springs have settled. No spacers, as I'm on the hunt for wheels.

The ride is superior to stock. I didn't change out the shocks.

^^ Looks good, but you should've went with 25mm in the rear.

I was looking at it the other day and figured I could have gone with 25s. The room is there I think without them poking too much. If I were doing it again now I think I'd try some 25s, but at the time I liked how the 20s looked on my test fit and didn't think there'd be room for 25s.
I like the 20s though. I won't be changing them for 25s.

If anything, the front could use 25s before the rear.

I have heard and read that tein drops 1.5 inches. Is tein lower than swift?

Yes, they are about a half inch lower.

Hey Folks,

I've been putting this list together as much as possible.

WE have a lot of NEW and existing members who ask about lowering springs, And so I hope this will help since this will be primarily for spec comparison.

I need for folks to let me know what more is available with specs of course so I could include them to the list as this will be stickied for easy reference.

is megan really 1.5 drop?

i thought the lowest was ark gt s? could someone clarify thanks..

on a side note i was thinking of lowering my 2013 z on stock rays wheels on ark gt s (if that is the lowest drop) was wondering if i would need any other parts to make my alignment perfect. also after reading these comments would like to get spacers..

Before and after with swift springs ,been on for about a week
need to take a better picture of the after but this will do for now
Top picture=stock and bottom=swifts

Thanks to kamispeed :tup:

Ark GT-S

I recently switched from Swift to Ark GT-S springs. I loved the Swift springs, they just didn't lower the car enough for me. The Ark GT-S springs, on the other hand, just gives the Z a more menacing stance. With that said, my car's too low that I managed to destroy the front aero diffuser, left and right air guides, as well as bend both of my FI canisters in 48 hours. My car can literally scrape on a burrito. I'm switching to coilovers.
