Nice drop-any wheel well measurments? mine are on the way-can't wait!

ill try and take some measurements and sun pics later. So far, I am really loving the springs. The drop and ride is perfect.

I have the coupe 19 sport wheels that are going on in a couple weeks. Im not going spacers because those wheels on the g sedan sit pretty nice as well.

Great work! Your G looks great, very clean and well done!
Just a bit off topic, but do you have an aftermarket rear diffuser?

just got an alignment. got everything almost to spec with front camber being slightly off. Its not horrible and if tires are rotated properly, then no camber kit is needed. still super happy with the springs.

Nice! If you don't mind can you post the specs from the alignment sheet? Looks like I'm going to have to get a pair of these springs

That is a very strange alignment sheet. If the drop is even left to right, there should be close to symmetrical measurements and correction. That is not the case here. Do you notice any difference in drop comparing sides? Especially weird is the front left--he camber is not adjustable and is a function of the amount of drop. -2.2 would suggest that the drop is even greater than Eibach, which I think comes in at -1.8 to -2.0 IIRC.

I dont trust the read out or the shop eventhough they were recommended. Im going to install some camber kits on thursday and then get another alignment at a different place the following week. measurements coming this of wheel gaps tomorrow.

I have an email out to Vinny Ten Racing on long island, but haven't heard anything. Hopefully they can get the springs and do the install.

That would be quite the drive for me but much appreciated if you could let me know if they can. Thanks again

Good. Because it just doesn't jive. It also looks like they took their baseline after correcting the right rear--no way it would be in spec right from the get go. And the left rear looks like they made a half-assed attempt at toe correction but no camber adjustments.

Well-just received my springs and installed the rears(fronts going on this weekend) on my 09x sedan.i'm on the 370z/g35 sport spring drop.wheel well height on the oem springs was at 28in,on the g35 sport springs it was 27 1/4in and on the swift it is at 26 7/8in for a total drop from oem of about 1 1/8in.drop looks good-hope it doesn't go much lower when they settle.my drop looks closer to that guy on the chicago z forum then mikejg.got about a medium finger gap for all you finger measurers.hard to gauge the ride with the 370z fronts still on which are quite stiff.will keep you posted when swift fronts go on.anybody else get wheel well measurments? post em up!

My front is at 27 1/4" and rear is just over 27 1/4". They're pretty close to the same. So it sounds a little different than Lee's. Lee you said you have 09 and I think the guy from ChicagoZ has an 09 as well. Not sure if that may have something to do with it.

BTW I am going to get f&r camber kit installed to get back in OEM specs.
