I was quoted as high as 700 for my springs and camber kit install. Needless to say I went elsewhere.

Is the install for the rear springs on the AWD just as easy as the RWD?

I had several quotes ranging from 800 to the best quote 250.00 for the swift springs install with no aligment. I went with 250 and they were a performance shop specialized in Infiniti/Nissan local shop.

Yep $175 just for the springs, awesome deal. Another $125 for an alignment at dealership so $300 total for me.

Thanks all. I've had two quotes by general garages and both were in the 4-500 range. I'll look for a performance type shop.

Hello everyone!

I went with the swift springs and they look good! pics to come tomorrow when I have some free time from work.

As far as other upgrades you thinking the sway bars should be next? I already have FI HFC, Sport muffler, sport pedals, paddle shifters, Tekeda CAI, Tail by turn, all diode dynamic LEDS, midnight grill, status elite diffuser, Carsmo, wrapped the roof, GTR start button, remote start and just put the 19's on with BFG sport comp 2's and now Swift springs. Any input would be appreciated.

I really want the sways and was gonna go with the hotschkis but I really want the M370 Intake manifold OR a grounding kit. I feel like my shifting has some lag to it.

You can make and install a ground kit for cheap (easily less than $50), there are a variety of links in the DIY section, which may or may not give you improvement. I did mine and feel like there was some marginal benefit. I think the best place to start with shift lag is just an ECU reset to let it relearn a more assertive driving style.

Looking forward to pics of your swift's installed!

So I took the car out last night after work for a 20 min drive just to see what the ride was like and it smelled like burning rubber. No sound of rubbing and checked each tire none were even close to rubbing or warm to the touch. Could my camber be so off to cause such an issue? Looked to be the front drivers side. Any thoughts?

I have the exact same issue. Just installed my springs and wheels on Saturday. Maybe new rubber? They always seem to smell like that even after being in the garage overnight.

Could be... I have had the wheels on for 3 weeks but have probably only driven 200 miles. I didn't get an alignment yet since spring install since it was just yesterday but this was a pretty strong odor with NO sign of rubbing hmmmmmm...

I've read on some other forums that it could be a seized brake caliper or a torn CV boot. I gotta check that out later today.
