- Complete Guide to Removal and Installation of Nissan 370Z struts, coil springs, and lowering springs. In this video I walk you through installation of SWIFT Lowering Springs, from A to Z. Also included is technical tips that can be applied to future vehicles you may work on.
You know it’s a good shop when dude actually cares about your wheels 👍
Very thorough and helpful. I appreciate this video, clear install process, and perfect that you pointed out the small nuances to expect during install. This video deserves applause 👏🏽.
What is the deal with the stock rear fog light, does it light up and if so what button do you push?
Quite a big drop in ride height. I wonder if it’s the same or similar drop for 350Z? From where I am, this ride height ain’t road friendly for my Z 😂
How’s the springs going for you so far ? Everything else stock ??
Yes, springs ride awesome! And look even better.
@@Pete_Tech_ how’s the springs now ? Still good ?
What mm were the front spacers?
if you alter the ride height on most cars then this will affect the standard camber and toe settings. The Toe can be adjusted easily at the front, but how is the camber affected by the drop ?
Have you measured whether the settings are within spec now that the car is lower ? My car was lowered with Swift springs and from looking at the tyre wear it would appear that the negative camber has decreased and the car is wearing the outer section of the tyre by 1-1.5mm more than the inner edge. No feathering - so would indicate camber. Have you put your car on a 4 wheel aligner to check it ?
That is due to toe actually. The static camber does get more negative with a drop in ride height on the Z and G chassis. The roll center angle also drops as well as the worst part which is negative toe in the rear. Always get an alignment after performing a suspension drop. Typical to see camber reach negative 1.9-2.5 in the front as as much as negative 3 degrees in the rear. This is actually better for corner traction. However, the toe angles are dramatically affected and need to be corrected to avoid excessive tire wear. I have a video on a 370z on lowering springs on my Chanel that demonstrates how “I” would set up the alignment angles. On problem is most shops just throw it anywhere in the green range and ship it. Feel free to reach out at capsrides@gmail.com for questions or advice on where to take it.
Is camber kit recommended?
Personally I do not recommend due to undeniable handling benefits with the more negative camber introduced. That being said if your main concern is tire longevity... you bought the wrong car LOL!
