Hey guys sorry to answer this now. I got the 13k swift springs from BC. I tried to order from swift and they told me to order from BC. Also what bc had told me, you can only go 2k up or down on spring rate from what you got. So if you originally got 10k you can go 12 without sending it to them to get re-valved.

As for adding 13k to keep from knocking. I remember putting up a video on here giving you a good look on what was going on. I think we get too low its still going to knock.

btw I dont have the 350evo arms, and I have yet to be that low since its winter. I will lower it down tomorrow and give you some feedback. Since my cambers are smaller and thinner I might not hit since I cut those hole.

 

btw I just realized that when I put my 13k on, it raised my car up some due to the fact it was a stiffer spring.

 

Thanx man i'll appreciate that.
cause im going to need a new one, and and i'll order the rubber too. Do it right from get go this time.

Question. today I pulled into work put it in reverse thru a pothole and Bang. I thought my tranny was shot. So i did a lil back and forth, My right axle is so foked up, Its only 2months old, rubber is trashed and i think it's missing parts. Bangs so bad.

WHo thinks it's safe to drive home? lol

 

We'll see when u get low bro. i hope the stop the knockin or eliminate it alot at least.

these swift springs are bc parts or diff comp?

 

Lowered it, I am about 25 inches fender height and about 25.5 rear. I havent banged, but really havent hit anything to do it.

The company is called swift, but when I called them they said I have to order from an authorized dealer which bc is.

 

Sounds good
And i blew my front right axle out the tranny. I had to shove it in and do 30mph with hazards till i got home.
I kept my old oem one. So i'll be gettin it rebuilt.

Edit: Got it rebuilt with longer rubber boot, I was messin wit it, Even at full flex rubber still has slack, hope it holds up.

 

Gonna be lowering my 05 X soon, so I figured I'd post up my questions.

Some background info
1. I'm currently running OEM 350Z Touring 18s on 225/45/18 Yokohama IceGuard winters. (Winter setup)
2. I'm going to be running OEM Coupe 18s on 235/45/18 Yokohama Avid Envigor all-seasons. (Summer setup)
3. My rear fenders will be rolled in a month's time.

Questions
1. Which springs should I looking at? I'm not looking to be laying on the ground, just a moderate (maybe 2") drop. Also, I'd like something that I'll be able to run in the winter as well with my wheel setups.
2. If I go beyond a 2-inch drop, I've read that I will require a camber kit, is this true?

 

I had the Tein S Tech springs on my X which lowered my car about 2" F/ 1.4" R with my 19s and it was pretty damn slow. A bit too low for my daily driving in the city so I switched em with coilovers. The ride wasn't too bad andante I was sitting pretty flush

 

Did you switch to BC Coilovers? Who's selling BC the cheapest? Anyone know?

 

Low* lol

 

I switched to Megan racing coilovers got em for under 900 bucks. The ride is much smoother.

 

Thanks.

Not looking to do coilovers though. Just a moderate drop without breaking the bank.

 

if you are **** about how your car looks, you will shortly want and spend the $ for coilovers. Many of us went coilovers route after we realized the springs will not get us what we want, either looks or comfort.

 

I'm not looking to spend serious money on this car.

Just want to make it a bit lower.

 

So what is the outcome on the Megan coils? Does the rear go higher than BC?
Has anyone seen/driven both? Any comparisons?

I am finally getting coils and now there are multiple options, any advice or input is appreciated..

Hey, Turtle did you end up getting the rear spacer from BC?
