Hey Rocket, you've put some miles on it by now, has it settled anymore? Curious how your alignment turns out, be sure to post your specs when you get it done.

Excellent choice on the wheels congrats and I agree with everyone else....something is off with your drop. You should have been sitting lower in the rear

Thanks so I have some updates. I remeasured the drop and the rear did settle to 1" now so the only thing off is the fronts lowering to 1 3/4".

I sent an email to swift sales and asked for feeback on the reason why the fronts could be out of spec. They said the drop could vary from vehicles and that they wanted to see side shots of my car. I'm waiting for their reply now.

Maybe they accidentally installed the rear springs upside down?

No the springs were installed properly as far as their orientation. The rear is fine, the issue is the front springs that went lower than spec

Is it possible you may have gotten G35x fronts? My B&Gs for 07-08 G35s that I used for my 09 G37 dropped a 1/2" more than advertised (for a real slammed look) since the 09 G37 has the 140lb. heavier 7AT. It will drop the 5AT equipped G35 1.5" in front but dropped my 09 2".
Just food for thought.

That's what I got. They are brand new and the case had all labels for this part number. Plus this site is an authorised swift dealer I highly doubt I got the wrong ones

Don't people who have X's get the RWD swift springs which drop the car more? Do I have that right?

Also were the rear spring mounts removed?

I agree with Sniper27. It looks good with the extra rake.
