Swift springs are the best selling springs in Japan used both for street and racing. I choose the Swift for my G after having the Eibach Prokit on my commuter an 03 Altima. I much prefer having the linear rather than the progressive spring design, much more predictable in aggressive driving and less bonciness in normal driving. Swift's are manufactured from high grade material and are guaranteed not to sag. BTW, Swift's are coming out with another application for the G with a higher spring rate with the same drop.
I was offered free springs from Swift to run the new G application springs in return for some advertising and pictures although I'm happy with my setup.

If not about when will they be out for general public?
In your opinion would it be better to get the 350Z swift springs or the G35 swift springs?

It's personal preference, if you drive aggressively, track your G, or just concerned about handling first I would go with the 350Z application spring. Be advised that you will have a larger drop. IMO it would probably feel somewhat like the oem sport suspension although not quite as stiff. Stiffer in the front, softer in the rear compared to the oem sport overall a better balance.
Good luck with your choice whichever spring you choose.

Not to mention, how much do you want to spend? Is the manufacturer local enough for you to get good customer service if something unforeseen was to happen?\
I don't plan on tracking my car anytime soon and the performance gain from changing out my stock suspension over to the Tokico DSP-7 and Tanabe DF-210 springs has made a world of difference.
I also think that having a stiffer suspension is good but too stiff and you are going to think you driving with the wheels welded to the frame and a small crack in the road will feel like the Grand Canyon.
IMHO, if this is a daily driver and you are not planning on tracking the car and don't have a lot of money to spend, get a nice set of shocks and springs. But if you are a lot more gung ho about driving and think you need a helmet first? Then go with a nice coilover set. What ever you do, take your time, don't rush and do your homework!
FYI, if you drop an inch or more you WILL NEED a camber kit. I recommend SPC.
Hope this helps you out and good luck!
