not doing and hastened on lowering the car with springs.

I don't really want to spend all that money on coil overs when I would not be using them to their potential since I don't track... Seems like lowering springs would be better to just minimize wheel gap. Although I do want a drop that will make the gap look even or the front a tad lower if it has to be. I just hate the rear being lower.

ill just throw in that with 305/30/19's on factory nismo wheels and tein spring drop with 15mm H&R spacers i still had a few mm to play with in the back.

the tein springs have a perfect 1-1/2" drop to me. even front and back..... only gripe i have is that they are a tad too stiff, thats all.

SPC kit... Would this be good to adjust for the drop of the swifts?

H&R springs wherein the front is dropped further than swifts, but leaves a big
gap in the rear where the swifts look better. For the tires, I went with Bridestone's
RE-11, with a 265/35/19F and 305/30/19R.

Currently, the rear has a fugly gap which can be taken cared with coils, but
I'm saving up money to buy my buddy's volks.

Nice ride and setup!
I have a mirror image of it except for the springs. I went with Swifts instead..

Hey Jay, here's my ride with the Swift Spec R springs installed earlier today., H&R 15mm spacers front and back. 265/305 Bridgestone RE-11's. Hope it help with ur decisions.
The spring will probably settle a bit in a few weeks so I assume that drop will be a little lower. Happy hunting!

Wow. Very nice. Thanks for this! What are the exact size of your tires? and did you get a camber kit for the rear?

Nu2Nizmo's · 11-06-2012, 12:34 AM

Fronts 265/35/19
Rears 305/30/19
Haven't got camber kit yet. Gonna let Spring settle for a few weeks first cuz it will lower it a bit more. Plus I need a little time to whore myself out so I can get extra cash for it..lol

Thanx Xplicit... Yeah someone else told me to go in Fb and send a friends request. Which I did but still no response yet. Definitely looking forward to meet up with some Z owners in the area. I wanna track the vehicle next year and could use some pointers and advice.
