Default Best place to buy S-tune Suspension for 350z nismo

Any idea of a good place to buy the nismo shocks/springs suspension Product SKU: 5300S-RSZ30US

I found this site that sells it for $1278 @
http://www.thenismoshop.com/Nismo-JD...009_p_210.html

Also, it does say it won't fit on a VDC equipped car, but I did research on this and it fits perfectly on a VDC, and we can also turn VDC off as well.

And do we have to install sway bars when we install the nismo shocks/springs suspension? if so, let me know a good place to purchase them.

Anyways, please let me know if you find a cheaper place that sell these.. Thanks Guys..!!

What's the difference between the oem nismo suspension and s-tune suspension? I know the differences for the exhaust but for some reason I thought the suspension was the same.

Spring rates are completely different

Gotcha thanks for the insight.

Which are stiffer? Because I have heard the Nismo Z is almost unbearable to drive in and I would like to eventually get the s-tune suspension. Then again my car is a weekend car and a few track days a year so I'm sure I wouldn't be bothered by a stiff suspension.

S tune is softer.

For anyone with S tune set up, I would recommend swapping out to the Eibach Pro-kit springs on the rear (leaving front S tune springs on). The rears really aren't that progressive, since the top 4 coils are fully compressed when mounted and you pretty much have a 500lb spring. Rear end was too *alive* and had a tendency to kick out. Made a huge difference in comfort and performance with softer (420 lb) Prokits on the rear mated to S tune shocks. I have always felt that firmer front vs rear spring rates work better on this car. Also drops rear another .5" I love this set up..very neutral and solid.

I had the Nismo S Tunes... they're a decent upgrade over stock suspension. However I feel they are overpriced brand new. I switched over KW V3's a couple of years ago and love this set-up.

OEM Nismo suspension will be a better choice in my mind. The struts are made by Tokico btw, very awesome quality!
