I tried using the search engine but i couldnt find an answer specific enough about the handling. Due to the extra weight of the 06, is the 05 a better handler? (can u feel the difference?) Thanks guys, and sorry if i didnt search enough before asking this.

 

When I bought my 06 Grand Touring coupe they had to order it and they gave me an 05 35th ann. to drive for two weeks. When I received my 06 with the Nismo suspension and sways it blew the handling of the 05 outta the water. I can't really speak for the stock 06 handling, but I would think it's pretty negligable. Definately suggest the Nismo suspension upgrade though. Well work it.

 

how much does the installation for that cost? Because in the nissan website it says "installation not included"

 

1+ on Nismo suspension.

Switching out springs and shocks etc.. not necessarily for nismo, but any susp kit, its like night and day, huge difference when compared with stock. I also think there is little to no difference between 05-06 oem.

Install for lazy people like me at the time was about 5 hrs at $77 hr including alignment at Performance Nissan or just set aside a free afternoon and do it your self.

 

You can get other suspension upgrades for less then the Nismo one, and it will handle better. But it wont keep factory warrenty like Nismo will. All depends on the price you want to pay to play.

 

I have a Tanabe GF210 Springs and Nismo Shocks they work SWELL!!!!

 

I've read somewhere here they increased the rear spring rates for 06, probably due to wt gain.

 

The 2006 model has "TOPS" (Twin Orifice Power Steering)". Sounds kinky enough to me as is. No further comment needed.
