not very popular as the drop is very subtle but i think andy at mynismo is a firm believer in swift springs in terms of performance

yeah, i was concerned with the drop but I heard if I use the ones for the 350 I'll get another half inch in drop, which would make it just about right. Have you heard that?

MYNISMOAK : swift
v35 skyline : isnt that a very subtle drop though?
MYNISMOAK : but the spring rates are awesome
MYNISMOAK : it will handle better than any spring out there

what are the spring rates for the z swift springs?

yes, supposedly z springs will lower the g ~.5" more than the would lower the z

Swift is probably the BEST spring in Japan. hands down. Swift aint no joke. many top tuners in japan utilize this spring with their coilovers. i'm sure mynismo knows too.

I have the Swift springs for the "G" application. I've used Eibach springs and IMO, the Swift's are better by comparison. I like the fact that Swift's are linear as oppose to the progressive design, that makes for a less bouncy and a more controllable ride. If you want something more aggressive I'd go with the "Z" application, the drop being more and higher spring rates. I would highly recommend the Swift springs in every regard.

Hi Guys..Does anyone know if the z swift springs are stiffer than stock?(05 6mt). If I install the z swift springs, will I have to get a front camber kit?

thanks

Figured id bump this thread with my 06 6MT with Swifts + Tokico D-specs since there is a shortage of pics with this setup.

Here are some more pics. These springs are great. I went with the 350 springs and the difference in handling was very noticable. I have heard nothing but great things about these springs. From doing research I found the drop is around 1.4 inch in the front and 1.1 in the rear. Not sure if you needed the camber kit but I just played it safe and did the front and rear any way.

Looks great. I see that youre local, hopefully ill see your car around.

I forgot to mention mine were also the 350Z Swift Springs. I'm very happy with the setup, both with the spring rates and the mated shocks. Even with the shocks turned up, still very compliant and a marked improvement in suspension movements.
