Default Well.....I ordered the S-tune suspension yesterday

and I can't wait......I know I could have tried Tein or Eibachs etc. but for me, I like the idea of a warranty.

and.....from what I've read, Nismos seems to have got the setup quite good.....I'm looking forward to it.

keeping the warranty is the best thing about going with Nismo...also the drop isn't bad at .6" if your not looking for anything to scrape paint and you want 19" wheels w/o rubbing.

assuming all Z's have a tire feathering problem...keeping your suspension under warranty is the best way to go

Got my car back today after having the S-Tune suspension installed along with a StopTech 13" front kit. The bounce is gone and the handling is now so precise. It is stiffer than the stock but not by much and there is almost no body roll or dive. I went with the Nismo because I too was concerned about the warranty. I think I can live with the increased stiffness in exchange for the improved handling. I also got my front end aligned and got new front tires on Nissan. I have heard that the Nismo suspension really helps with the tire feathering issue.

The StopTech brakes are awesome. My dealer had not seen StopTech brakes before and the technician who installed them could not stop talking about how awesome they are. I can't wait for StopTech to get their 13" rear kit ready. Hurry up Jeff. That will really finish the car off.

from what i've read on here and on the Nismo site it's .6"...could be a little more depending on settling height

Default first impressions..

I really have to say........this new setup is really a huge improvement....

the car just squats down and hangs on....quite a difference....I've also noticed no bounce at all...turing corners on uneven pavement is a breeze now....I found I sometimes felt like I was bouncing right out of the seat before......

.....just a very firm......road hugging feel to

Well worth the outlay....

I have a 6 MT....and no problems with the VDC..for any who still wonder about that...

Now......engine mods.....
