Swift springs for A90

[MisterSkiz]

I installed my swift springs. I've installed coilovers and hr springs on my 370z before. Both front shock bearings fell apart but I had ordered 2 strut mounts. I had to use a crowbar to get the rear control arm hole to align. But when I got to my other control arm, I couldn't get it to align. I tried to loosen the alignment bolt but my breaker bar didn't have room underneath the jack stands. I think I spent about 2 hours and around midnight I got the last bolt in. I was too tired to put the wheels back on and take it for a drive. I took it for a drive this morning and everything is good.

Mine both fell apart on a car with 800 miles on it. I re-greased them and put them all back together - no issues.

The back is a pain - you have to jack up the arm slowly and get the shock bolt in first. Then you use a pry bar between the spindle and shock to gently move it into place to get the bolt in. I laid on the ground on my side to get a good view.

Is anyone running TE37SLs (A90 spec) with the swift springs with a 265/35/19 front? Im getting rubbing and I thought 265 was a pretty safe bet.

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but did you ever find a fix? I'm dealing with the same thing now too

Funny a guy earlier just claimed he’s running the same exact tire size and springs and have no rubbing at all. Did you experience rubbing from the very beginning with that combo?

Yeah everyone said they don't rub with this set up.

To be honest I'm primarily rubbing when I enter my driveway or go into a big enough dip with the wheel turned 25% or more. It's not like I'm rubbing with the wheels straight/turned while just driving (though I haven't tried under significant load that much yet).

Wanted to come back and update as I've done a lot of testing over the past few days.

It actually seems like the rear is rubbing, not the fronts. I'm not sure why it sounded like the front to me.

Had 3mm spacers on the rear and removed them. There's still rub on extreme dips, but less so than before
