727, are those XXR wheels? I was looking into the same wheel if so. What sizes you got? MOAR pics.
No they aren't XXRs. They're Linea Corses, lc818. 19x9.5 +15 and 19x11 +20.

Side skirts would definitely go with it better but I think its the one bumper that can get away with not having them.

Those are the only springs swift made for the Z (aside from coilover springs). I've heard nothing but great things, we'll see though.

I'm sure it'll be great, especially if they're already specific to the Z. Bilstein and swift, 2 of the best. You can probably pair it with some sway bars if there's still some body roll. +100000000 on top quality parts.

Yeah I just want to do it right. Just looked it up too, the rear nismo springs are progressive, 336-672 where the fronts are 492. So the 420/460 swifts aren't too far off. I'm looking forward to having some quality parts on and seeing how it all works together. Sways are inevitable as well. I'm looking at the motordyne sways.

Only some states have that law. They also sell a gold version that is the same compound, different color. I didn't have any trouble finding the blue stuff though.

Nismo 492 f / 672 r KG converted that's around 8.8 f / 12 r.

You should be fine, I think you're gonna be more than happy. I'm actually a little jelly of your combo. Do you know if the swifts are any lower?

Swift says expect a drop of 1.2"F/1.0"R - HellaFunctional. I'll be installing this weekend, maybe I'll do a write-up/review of the combo and post it. I looked for detailed info and couldn't find it, maybe I'll help someone else interested.

Looking forward to that write-up/review!
