I'm sure you'll need a kit. I have these on my AWD sedan, and I'm out of spec after alignment. The toe was aligned within spec, but the negative camber suffered.

You have these on your AWD sedan? These are 4N908, your X sedan calls for 4N907... 1.3 front, 1.0 rear

No matter what you get... If you want to set the camber to specs you'll need a kit... But I've heard that toe is the main reason for tires wearing out unevenly and if the toe is within specs you should be o.k.

Okay, I got the alignment. The specs look pretty good therefore i wont be planning on getting a camber kit. This was what I was hoping for.

The top two are the front and back before the alignment. The bottom two are after.

This is picking nits, but I'm sure you meant 0.8 in the back, not .08 inches, yes?


Your alignment specs look great! From the factory, my S doesn't have enough negative camber up front for my driving style (the outside shoulders of my front tires wear faster than the rest of the tire), so I've been contemplating lowering her to address that. Your after results look dead on to where I'd like to be, so thanks for sharing that!

I have a set on order from fbparts for my g37s sedan rwd. they are a couple of weeks out still so youll have to pm him if you want a set. He probably still has a few sets left.

These are new Swift springs just developed for the RWD sedan, not the X sedan. They've already had the springs for the X for some time. I helped Swift by letting them use my RWD G so i was able to get them prior to the general public and that's why there's no info on the net about them...yet. Hope that helps.

Also, a couple weeks ago, Leonard at Swift told me the shipment will be coming around mid Oct. That corresponds with what dagon68 had mentioned about pre-ordering them.

I thought I remember FBPARTS selling them. Go into the vendor section and you should find the thread.

I just ordered mine from MAPerformance (Modern Automotive Performance - Redefining fast.) and not only did they get here super fast with free shipping, but their customer service was impeccable. They went out of their way to create a listing on their Amazon store for me just so I could burn up a gift card I wanted to use. Really nice guys there.

I installed mine this weekend, so I'm working on a writeup now. It was raining this afternoon so I couldn't get any spirited driving impressions, but pictures will be up very shortly. So far, I'm liking them a lot.
