Installed Swift 350Z springs today on my G35 Coupe PICS!

If anyone on this board has Swift Springs can you inform us on what you think about them. I was originally going to just get Tein Basics and call it a day, but then I remembered how many times I actually adjusted the dampering and ride height on my RSX. Let's see a total of zero times! I don't autox at all so I figured I'll try a performance spring. LMK if you have any personal experiences with them. Thanks!

Thanks for the insight man. The guy I usually buy parts from can't get Swifts so I'm even thinking about just getting Flex or CS. My question is since the Flex and CS have pilloball mounts will I just need a rear camber kit?

Swift > Tein. In Japan; Tein is like the APC of suspension.
