Default Nismo S-Tune Suspension Question????

I need everyone's help. I'm thinking about adding the Nismo S-Tune Suspension & I have several questions.

1. After the break-in time, will the drop be more than 1 inch?

2. Will this cause any misalignment? If so, will I need rear toe arms or rear camber adjusters?

3. Will I have any problems upgrading to 19's??

4. Can someone show me pictures of this combination??


Thanks!!!

1. No it should not drop than an inch.
2.Yes you will need to get it realigned, but they should be able to get it within specs without having to buy a camber kit.
3.There should be no problem upgrading to 19" wheels. This is the same set-up I will be getting shortly.
4.https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....hreadid=104380

Hope this helps. You should run a search on this topic, there are tons of threads on this.

What is the spring rate difference between the stock springs and the Nismo S-tune? R-tune?

Oem springs are 314/342

Nismo S-tune (twin tube construction, uses progressive springs, especially in rear)
350Z/G35 Coupe
Spring rates 448/504
Stiffer then oem by F+43% R+48%
Transfers +5% roll stiffness to rear

Another choice that cost's less, has adjustable ride height, and does not use progressive springs would be the Tein Basic coilover


Tein Basic (twin tube construction, non adjustable dampners )
Spring rates 504/504
Stiffer then oem by F+61% R+43%
Transfers +18% roll stiffness to front
Side Note: Excellent value at it’s price point
