Why would anyone that has a special version of a sports car, that has specific changes done to it to enhance what the car is, install much softer springs just to improve the looks of the car? I mean it toally goes against why you paid extra for the car in the first place.

*Spring rates 424/576
* according to the factory the car uses springs that are +35% stiffer then oem

You cannot purchase lowering springs for the Nismo Z that will drop the car and be equal or better to the oem springs. If you must lower the car, do so with coilovers, one's that actually stand a chance of being better then the oem springs and shocks.

I have considered that and contemplating it. I'm happy with how the front looks but wish the rear was at least 1/2" lower. And I know I can get that drop by modding that spring mount.
