Hey Guys

After almost a year of buying Swift Springs finally install them yesterday. Now I have one small situation will like to take care. The knuckle head guy installing my springs didn't have much experience with G37 so I help him out. For one second I leave him to attend a call, he damage the Screw that goes on top of the Knuckle holding the upper control arm. He use the pistol and damage the thread, immediately he bought another one that fit and does the job but I prefer to buy a infiniti original part.
The part number for the knuckle is 40014EG00, can someone tell me where can I find the screw that goes at the top of the knuckle?
Thanks

Hey future, I have Swifts and did not need a camber kit. It's been 5 years and still on stock struts. I only have about 68k on my G but still riding great...knock, knock.

That drop looks very nice, exactly how I would like my car to look. Please do let us know your alignment results. Very curious to know the camber results.

I've been considering a drop, but my apt complex just put down new speed bumps a couple days ago and they're horrible!

Strodda, look into the Tein Basis Z coilovers, only cost a couple hundred more than Swifts and you have a true coilover that you can adjust to the exact height you want, so if you move away from speed-bump-hell you can go lower w/ just a few twists of the wrench

Ok, thanks, I'll look into them. Years ago I had Tein SS coilovers on my TL-S and they were too soft, I scraped in the rear. I got rid of them and the Ksports after we're awesome.

Might look at the Tein Flex Z then, they have stiffer spring rates and adjustable dampers.

The TL and G have similar suspension setups, but I still wouldn't use the experience of the TL on the G. The Basis' spring rates are good for the G.... probably 30-40% stiffer than stock. The better move would be to get a higher quality coilover with better dampers and similar rates, as well as separate ride height and preload adjustability.

Sorry for the late response but no camber kit and no alignment was needed for this setup. I did try to get it aligned but was told it was still in specs.

Oh also I hit a deep bump and front tires rubbed the fender liner slightly. It is a little hump on the liner located directly behind the head light. But once it did this it never rubbed again at same bump
