I like my TEIN S-Techs. Especially after they settled, now they're almost perfect. I just wish my G was slammed but then I wouldn't be able to drive it anywhere.

I don't think I will need a camber kit with SWIFT, will I ?

Yup! I am switching to S-Techs or Coilovers.

Are you planning on running 350z Swifts? Then yes, you will need camber kits, at least in the rear for sure, and in the front as well if you want to maximize tire life. The only springs you are going to be able to run without camber kits are 350z h-techs, which most people barely got back into specs, or OEM 350z springs. Both give minimal drops in the rear without a springmount mod though, so don't expect anything drastic unless you are willing to get camber kits

g35 swift springs will drop you approximately -0.984f/-0.591r

as with ANY sort of drop (no matter how little/much), a camber kit will help maxamize how much you get out of your tires. with the swift springs, you should be able to get away with flipping your tires.

I wouldn't recommend g35 swifts AT ALL! They have very soft springrates, softer than stock 280F/314R, which will hurt your performance significantly. 350z Swifts are a better choice because they have higher springrates, but will be a bigger drop and definetly need camber kits. 350z H-techs will give you approximetely the same drop as the g35 swifts, and have better springrates
