All the pictures except a couple of the after pictures are stock 225/45/19. All measurements and testing were done with the stock 225/45/19s. Just recently I put 245/40/19s on all four corners. . .

After getting an alignment from Infiniti, I did not get a camber kit. Everything was be able to get into spec except rear camber which was just outside the normal range at -2.0 and -1.9 (range is-0.8 to -1.8) and I'm okay with that much camber. Toe and castor eat up tires and that was all put back into spec.

Yes, they have completely settled.

I did not measure the gap between the fender and tires; Swift had a more accurate way of measuring the drop. I can measure it today. .

Let me google that for you

Sorry, I had too, just kidding. . .

I had the new Swift springs installed about three weeks ago. As the good doctor already pointed out, the ride is not too far from stock. The impact of large bumps and deep potholes is a little bit more jarring, but that is to be expected. Here are some before pictures:

After the drop, my front camber was a total (right & left) of -0.3° out of spec. I decided to let that go because the front camber arms are $400 and it didn't seem worth it. The rear camber, however, was a total of -0.7° out of spec. Since the rear arms are only about $140, I got them installed. Here are the actual springs

I didn't do the install myself, the installer just let me take the pictures.



But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
