My front starts to click, with OEM struts and swift spring I need to look for alternative. Not sure if I can combine swift with something that would allow adjusting height, just like coilover system.

Click? What exactly do you mean?

Actually the KW coilovers also come without the top mounts, often times those pillowball top mounts (especially on the Taiwan sourced parts) can be another source of noise

Lance check this thread, still enough pics in it to give you an idea, it's definitely much deeper than any other lowering spring for the G, and this is the earlier G35 which weighs 150 lbs less (for the 5AT) so the front may drop even further.

If I start driving from dead start or come out of parking spot by the curb, as I leave with wheel turned left / right. there is audible noise like heavy click that occurs like 3-4 times in first 3 seconds. Its not always there once you start driving, stop and go. I suspect its coming front left strut.

Interesting, I guess sooner or later it will just snap? I broke few axels before on my older cars.

WOW that drop looks deep! That doesn't look like a inch and a half drop like the website says.

That started happening right after you installed the swift springs?
