Hi Guys,

I have an 2006 Touring model with VDC. I'm interested in purchasing a used Nismo S Tuned Shocks and Springs kit from another member. After some investigation I have read that this kit should be installed with Nismo Wheels and Sways. Is this really necessary?


Thanks for any help on this issue.

 

No.

 

much bettter parts are available, and they will work on any Z , VDC or not.

 

Care to elaborate further? The seller asking $900 Can for the used set with 8000 KM's this is equal to approx. $775 USD. I was going to go with the Ebiach Pro kit but this is just springs. I thought the Nismo Kit would be a better route to go considering it is shocks and springs.

Thoughts????

 

Well for almost $800 you can get a nice set of Cobb springs, sways and dampers. NEW. Or new Tein basics or etc etc.

 

I don't see a cobb spring and damper combo being better then a S-tune setup. I especially don't see Tein basics as being better either ride quality wise. What would likely be better for $999 would be the Eibach Pro-S coilover. Since most used S-tune setup's have streeted for $650-$800, it's get's harder to make a case for other option's. Most S-tune setups that are sold, are sold because the owner want's something stiffer for track duty, want's to go lower or is getting rid of the car. I've never seen or heard on one being sold because the owner just didn't like it.

 

$775 USD is a good price, if you run a search in the marketplace private classfied's you can find instances of them selling for less, in the mid $600 USD range, but $775 is middle ground.

Vs a oem shock and prokit combo, your way ahead of that setup, as long as your ok with the mild .6" drop, it's definately a better setup.

 

^^thanks for your feedback^^
