Everything turned out great so far memphis, thanks for asking, couldnt be happier! Sorry i took so long to post pics, but have a new cell phone and getting used to transfering pics in the correct sizes from flickr to the forum. Shop installed everything today, did the alignment also, but will go back for re alignment in a few weeks. Washed the car and took some quick pics afterwards for you all. Will take better pics later! Also, wanted to take the time to give props to kamispeed and b2 autodesigns for their great customer service, prices, and most of all patience with a tough customer like me

Looks awesome, bro, and glad you're happy. One of the best mods you can do to your Z. To me, the handling is great and it takes bumps better than the stock springs.

Enjoy it and have a great weekend!

I know this is pointless right now, but it might be of help to anybody planning on doing Swifts down the road doing their research, but with all due respect, you don't have to drop the spring buckets to pop in the camber arms if you want do it later on. The room is there and neither end of the arm shares the same points as either end of the spring bucket. You don't even need to drop the spring bucket to swap out the stock toe bolts for SPL/SPC toe bolts. You simply put a jack under the inboard end of the SB to hold it in place while you remove the stocker and slip in it's replacement.

If you don't mind me asking, what spacers did you end up running?
Looks like you stole my Z.

Thanks

Sorry, you are correct. I meant the toe bolts. I don't see how you can enlarge the hole without dropping the bucket. Swapping only the bolts back into the OEM holes isn't going to help you gain any additional toe adjustments. Maybe SPL is different, but for my SPC kit, I had to enlarge the holes.

You are absolutely correct about having to drop the spring buckets to enlarge the holes. No other way.
I read camber arms. Toe bolts you do for sure.
On the day of my alignment one of my two SPC toe bolts failed (stretched) and wouldn't lock up for the tech. I had a second pair but left them at home (who da thunk I'd need them) so he popped a stock toe bolt in. So, I have a spare pair of SPCs if anyone would like them. After that, I recommend using SPLs, but I really think it was just a abnormality. There are too many SPC toe bolts out there on the rear of Gs and Zs for a failure to be anything but a very uncommon event.

I agree somewhat....I went 20mm all around. Looking at it now I would be good with 25s on the rear, but I really believe 20 all around makes the rear look closer to that of the front than 20/25 does. 25s on the rear give a bit of poke which isn't there on the front running 20s. 25s all around might work but I'd be concerned about rub when turning. I didn't want to be the guinea pig for that so I stuck with the 20s for the front.
