Another Swift Springs Install (RWD Sedan)

Ok I just got these installed a week ago so they are not settled yet but man I am loving these springs! It feels better than stock while keeping the DD needs. The gap is almost identical for front and rear. The handling is better than stock. The feel of them reminds me of that "on rails" feeling the G35 coupe used to have BUT without the harsh ride. I am very happy with these springs. I havent had a chance to check alignment yet so I still need to do that as well. The wheels do not look like they are cambering in too much. Anyway check out the pictures.

Looks good, how much did you pay for the installation of the springs?

Although I'm not one to obsess over wheel gap (and likely never will be), that fitment looks 100% perfect, IMO. Well done. When you were putting this together, by chance did you determine whether the same can be done with the Vossen VVS-CV3, over the Akebono BBK?

Also, please delete this thread if anyone says, "That looks sick!"

They're part of his signature~
Blue Slate G37S Sedan
Vossen CV2 LE’s
20x9.0 +32 255/35
20x10.5 +45 295/30
Swift Springs (1.3F .8R)


Looking great Dagon, I'll be getting new wheels w/ 295s out back and looks like a great fit. Can you post pics from the rear and possible the side to show more of the width of those tires. BTW, drop looks really nice, glad you're happy w/ the ride & fit

And yes Rochester, it does look kinda sick

JK, of course. The OP's setup is perfect. And you know that I know you're not 19 anymore, newt.

I think you have one of my favorite sedans. Don't be upset if we have similar mods as I have a mod list that is damn near exactly the same as yours.

Thanks guys and no I'm not upset Robert the more the better! Here is a shot of the rear (if it works) trying this for first time on my phone...



Well that didn't work. I'll post it later. Oh I paid a guy at work $100 for install
