Not sure I'll be getting my alignment done next week and will see how close they can get it. I've heard from others a good shop can get it real close without having to get a kit.

It depends on what you want you alignment to be like as to whether you will need a alignment kit. My shop got the toe back to factory specs without any kits but the camber was 2 degrees negative front and the rear 1.5 degrees negative. This is not within the factory specs and this was not acceptable to ME. I have an 11 G37xs with swifts and spc kits front and rear.

Did you have to pull the front axles out of the hub's to remove the front spring?

For some reason the manual recommends pulling the front axles there's no need,all you have to do is unbolt the upper link and you can get the entire strut assembly out.

My 2010 xs. I just got it all together with the Swift Springs. Rides firmer, not too firm less so than my '04 A4 with the sport package. It's hard to beat the Audi on the highway. I've had BMWs and they're choppy,Porsche 944 ,Porsche - Audis are the most solid up high that I've ever driven,but this thing's mean looking and fast!

Great look! I like your fitment. I'm a fan of the equal sized gap all the way around the wheel, rather than smaller top gap than front and rear.

Thanks! Now I need to swap the 10" rears for the other pair of 9" fronts and add 15and 20mm spacers.

Looking good there, maybe you could find a coupe owner that wants to run a square 10" setup for a WIN WIN.

I don't know why Koni didn't make upgrade struts for the awd sedan. Are there any Universal Bilstein that would work?

Exclamation Swift Springs for my G37x

I have a 2013 G37x. I plan on getting Swift Springs. Are the springs something that you can do yourself? My friend and I are pretty handy.

So far, we've installed a DC Short Ram Intake, a HKS HiPower Muffler, and in a couple days, we will also install Kinetix High Flow Cats, and a new Megan Y-Pipe. Also thinking about getting a new header as well.

And also, is an alignment required? I would buy the springs, but I don't have money for the alignment afterwords.

Just lowered my G37x Sedan with swifts! Very happy with the drop and appearance. Also had the front and rear SPC camber kit installed to avoid future headaches

Bonus picture of last year spring, when I was not lowered
