Default Wrong Suspension?

I have been stalking this forum for awhile, and have learned quite a bit about my z from you all. But I have run into something I can't seem to figure out.I bought a nismo suspension from a reputable dealer ad had it installed around 3/22/13. I recently had the nissan dealership try to do a alignment on my z. The tech there told me I do not have the right suspension, and he couldn't realign my tires. I was wondering if anybody had seen these part numbers on the nismo shocks. Front shocks are 54010-RSZ30 and the rear are 55020-RSZ30. And yes I have tried looking them up already and can't seem to match the part numbers to any nismo suspensions.

I can confirm that my nismo suspension has the same part numbers 54010-RSZ30 and 55020-RSZ30.

Just go find a different alignment place

Thats for getting back to me so quickly. Just to be sure tho, the nismo suspension was mad for the 03-08 z's correct? So there is no reason it would not work on an 07 touring other than the vdc issues, right?

if you are too low in the rear and don't have camber arms then he won't be able to get the rear back into spec.

I reckon most dealership techs only know what is seen in the fsm or training manuals. Or the dealership doesnt want to work on a car with "aftermarket" parts.

Thanks everybody for the input. I don't believe the back is too low, but when I take it to my other shop I will find out. I think the tech just didn't know what he was talking about.

The S-Tune suspension doesn't require any additional parts for correct alignment.
