Hi guys, new guy here and needing your expertise. I have tried doing a search for this topic but have not been able to find what I need. I have a 2003 performance ed. and want to switch to the Nismo springs/strut setup. Will going this route lower my car? My goal is to stiffen my suspension and not lower the car. I already have the shocks/struts and I'm now in the market for the springs. If the Nismo will lower the overall height, are there any aftermarkets that will not lower the Z but give me the stiffer setup that I want? Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

I have the OEM Nismo springs/shocks on my '08, and there was no noticeable change in ride-height. The S-Tune springs/shocks will lower the car, between .75 - 1.0 inch, IIRC, and those springs/shocks have different rates from the OEM Nismo. There is a thread here, somewhere, which discusses the specific differences.

Thanks Dean, I will definitely stick with the full Nismo setup. Now I just need find a set Nismo springs.

Thanks for the linky and nice write-up. I'm also about the performance and will endup going with the Nismo setup since I really don't want to have a lower car. I'm already low with my 35 series tires.

I have the s-tune kit and it really isn't all that low, the springs will be noticeable in the stiffness department though.
