They do? My OEM had about 2-3" gap in between each coil. My swifts have zero gap up top for the first 5-6 coils then a 1" for the rest, same as his pic.

Here's a koni insert job. Kind of a pain but my WRX konis were only $560 shipped. The whole new 370z shock probably costs way more.

All squished up on the lower perch and after 4 or 5 vodkas, yeah. For some reason I thought the spec R's were blue. /shrug

^^^ your car looks great bro keep it up!
I have Koni Yellows in my Z32 Along with Swift Race springs. My setup is quite a bit different from the Z34 but i love it. I have Koni Yellow F + R shocks, along with the Koni Coilover sleeves. I am Using Swift Racing springs 8K rear with 9K Front spring rates. I am in the middle of fabricating custom pillowball top hats for added suspension travel. Maybe it'll give you guys some ideas on doing something for the Z34. -Juan |

OEM springs are linear, they have the same spring rate all the time, swifts are progressive, the have different spring rates depending on their compression, that's why they are a bit smoother that the OEM springs. For handling I actually prefer linear springs, but I got a good deal on the swifts so I went for them.
