Can anyone post pictures of the nismo suspension paired with some nice 19 inch wheels? I've been wanting this suspension for a while but i like the look of the bigger wheel.

tire diameter stays the same with 19"s if you get the correct size's... so will be like that picture I posted with less rubber around the wheels and larger wheels

They say that because they only tested on a NON VDC Equipped vehicle...

You do not need to get all the NISMO Suspension if you purchase any of the suspension parts...

And as long as the tire size fits the original stagger diameter you can use anything you want...

I plan on purchasing the Nismo Suspension but was wondering if I should purchase the Nismo Front and Rear sway bars with it. Would it be that big a difference from my stock bars on my 2004 Enthusiast model?

What I tell people to do is, do the suspension first, drive the car, see if you feel you even need the sways... alot of people dont...

I'm not going to lie to you, everyone told me that the nismo suspension rode better on bumpy roads than the stock suspension. "bull crap". It is much stiffer than my stock 06 suspension. However the cornering is incredible, absolutely no body roll. I installed both suspension and sways.

Vs a 03-04 car, the Nismo S-tune will still feel stiffer, but with a whole lot better control, especially on bumpy roads. Getting that better control on real world road condition's is the other side of the coin, not just that you've kicked the stiffness up a notch.

The 03-04 car's have alway's had issues with poor shock control, especially on bumpy of less then smooth roads Hence the existance soo many bounce and porposing threads.
