Some WILD negative camber

Somehow, I managed to clear the driveway...Barely an inch clearance, will be interesting once the Fast Intentions exhaust is on

Don't worry about the exhaust, if your lip cleared by an inch then your mufflers will clear by 3" (example)

Very true. I was worried about the exhaust before I had it on the car. Funny thing is I have scraped the front on driveways and crap bet the exhaust is safe...........

Gotta say your car looks even sicker in person

Glad to hear that guys, I figured that my FI exhaust & driveway would get to become intimate

How are you both liking your FIs? Much hate from the neighborhood yet

Thanks a lot Dan, I'm digging the color and exhaust you got on your Z man, very aggressive and prone to haters wanting to hit your car

Thanks Jon for the great review about the Swift and for the recommendation about the front camber kit. How did alignment turn out for you? I'll try to keep my camber slightly more aggressive during alignment.

Such a great looking car. Nissan really nailed it with the 370 Nismo.

Car looks sick bro. I also have my 300ZX TT.

The swifts are sure lower on your rear for some odd reason. I also have the swifts and Nismo wheels and my rear sits much higher. Well It might be because you have a Nismo, not sure. I know when I had my Nismo suspension on, the front was .5" higher than stock, and the rear looked lower--like yours does. But for me I ended up not needing a camber kit at all. Weird.
