Has anybody done Nismo sways keeping the stock springs and shocks? Any improvment with understeer, etc.?? worth it??

I just can't decide to go with sways first, then maybe Nismo suspension later or if it should be done all at the same time, or just leave it alone - - any thoughts/experience will be helpful.

Thanks,
Steve

 

I have the Nismo sways with stock suspension and I like the change very much. I can't speak for track use, but on the street they made a major difference in cornering flatness without any bad effects on ride quality. Very happy with them.

 

Great - that's what I was hoping to hear - thanks

Steve

 

Can anybody beat the price Performance has for the sways - ($385)?? Those guys are amazing - -

Do the Nismo sways need to be registered through Nissan with my VIN??

Steve

 

I paid $385 but well worth it in my opinion. One of my favorite mods, and it was really noticable especially on the track.

 

NISMO Sways are the way to go... and that is not because I sell them... I have had some drifter's tell me how they have tried all the sways and they feel the NISMO ones are the only ones that show definate stiffining... the hard rubber bushings they come with are also a plus...

and yes... $385 plus shipping in stock

 

Jason,
Does the "and yes" mean my VIN is registered with the Nismo sways?

Steve

 

no y9ou do not need to register with any NISMO parts now... the NISMO Suspensions are now marked...

 

350EVO sway bars.

Both Schuitemaker Motorsports and Performance Nissans Grand AM Cup teams use our adjustable sway bars.....and the list is growing fast.
Developed and tested on the track.

350Evo sways are highly recommended! $350.00 well spent.

 

Stay with the Nismos! If you ever get the dreaded tire feathering your covered under the factory Warranty!!!! ANY other sway will allow the dealer to send you packing..... (of course you know I'll still take good care of you.. )

 

Jeff,

I have given up on NNA doing anything on the feathering issue. The car handles much better with the Koni/350Evo sways. I'll take of the alignment on my dime if I have to. If NNA blames my Koni shocks or 350Evo sways for the feathering screw them. Sorry for the rant. I wish I was within driving distance of your dealership. You guys are a class act.

 

What are the difference between the Nismo, 350Evo, and Hotchkis sways? The Nismo and 350Evo are around the same price but the Hotchkis sways are slightly cheaper.

 

nismo = not adjustable...rubber bushings

 

So changing a sway bar can minimize the chance of tyre feathering?

 

HARD RUBBER BUSHING's...

No need to grease them and you wont get squeaky squeaky...

NISMO are a over all great sway bar for street and track... and also sonically comfortable...

Once again... I have had people come to me saying they did not feel much of a difference with their adjustable sway on their car, but when they put the NISMO's on they really felt a difference...

 

If you don't have the feathering yet on an 03 car... you more than likely won't get it at all.

The Nismo suspension (complete) is my personal favorite and that's just MY opinion. Working here I've had the chance to try others but for me... I'll just keep my Nismo stuff. Doesn't mean any of the other parts out there aren't better (or worse) just my preference. For customers with suspension "issues" I always recommend to go Nismo since they won't EVER be questioned about warranty stuff.... BUT, if you have a mod friendly dealer then do what YOU want after you do your homework and decided for yourself what you want out of your car.

 

The Nismo ones are a decent street part while retaining a warranty but......
even your race team runs the 350EVO sway bars !
Our sway bars were designed and developed and endurance race proven to give the customer the option of tuning the suspension for different conditions. The sways come with the new polyurethane bushings which dont squeak.
Track tested results speak fro themselves.
Ask around about out bars.

We run fuel cells in our race car too... doesn't mean I would put them in my street car.. Sorry.. BTW: like the cover of SportZ mag!!!

 

I didn't have a single problem with my 350EVO sways being on my car when I took it in for feathering.

I'm sure the Nismo sways are fine, but if you ever plan on tracking your car seriously, I'd recommend nothing other than the 350EVOs--and they haven't hurt my car's streetability one bit.
