Ok so far i have installed the nismos suspension on my 06 silver alloy. Im always getting comments, especially on here about how i need to lower it. Im also not very happy with the handling, im wanting a little more stiffness. Help me decide what i need to do please....

 

What Nismo suspention??? Just the sways?

 

No i have the springs and struts. I want to get the fenderwells with as little gap as possible. Here is a recent pic and i do have the sways too.

 

Keep Nismo struts and install tanabe GF210 springs on struts

Sell Nismo suspension and put GF210 springs on stock struts

Buy Tokio D-specs with GF210 springs, sell nismo

Go Eibach sportline

Tein Basics


None of your first 4 choices will deliver on your goal to firm up the car vs the S-tune setup you have now. Only the Basic's will deliver. GF210's are way too soft. The sportlines have way too much progressive rate spread and still don't have peak rates any higher then the S-tunes. Basics give you higher front linear spring rates and the same rear rate vs your S-tune setup.

Nismo S-tune (twin tube construction, uses progressive springs)
350Z/G35 Coupe
Spring rates 448/504

Tanabe GF210 Series 350Z progressive springs 1”/1.2”
Spring rates in LBS 336/375

Eibach 350Z sportline progressive springs 1.2"/1.2"
Front: 239/400 Rear: 257/435


Based on what you want, another choice would be Tokico D-spec shocks and Tom Motorsport sleave coilovers, linear spring rates of 500/500

Based on what you want, you will not get their with a shock and spring setup other then the D-spec/Tom Motorsport setup. A Nismo T2 spring setup on Koni's would likely be way over the top.

 

sorry to hijack/ raise from the dead but I have Nismo s-tune suspension, and was wondering if I could use the Nismo struts with sportline lowering springs. I want to lower it, but no need for coilovers since it's just my Daily. thanks for any positive feedback guys/ gals. ( no flaming please, thanks )

Did you read the last post ?

 

yeah I did, but he was jst asking if the ride would be any stiffer, I just want to make sure the shocks can handle the spring rate at all. or was that answered in previous post? thanks for te reply btw
