finally got the suspension installed no my nismo. full cusco suspension, coilovers, sway bars, rear control arms. not sure how low, but defenitly lower than stock. The alignment is still within factory specs even with the stock a arms.

 

looks good!!!

 

btw is that a red pinstripe I see?

 

yes it is, down the side.

 

the stock nismo suspension is not a bad setup, but it isnt adjustable. you cant make any changes, like the dampening of the coilovers or ride height. for a stock suspension the nismo is good, but if you drove one than you drove someone with an upgraded one you would see the difference is huge. it grips so much better now and it corners better also.
the nismo has the same sway bars as a stock z, the only difference is the springs and shocks, struts from stock. the reason the nismo performs better is really the welding of the frame.

 

The stock suspension rocks. Not sure why people buy this car then replace everything. To each his own.

 

what are you running your sways at?

 

I like it. Second on the nice brakes.

 

not sure i understand the question?

 

great looking ride

 

wanna sell your nismo suspension to me? pm me.

 

The stock Nismo suspension handles great! But like the OP stated its not fully adjustable... The stock wheel gap for me is less then desirable. Also, the stock suspension is not the end all of suspensions. Sure its great but its not that great! There is room for much improvement.

 

What are you guys running your sways at? I am using full soft in the front, full stiff in the rear.

 

Looks great!

 

ROCKS??? compared to what? Have ever driven in a Z with good coilovers?? like the op said, the difference is huge....

are your sways adjustable? if so what hole positions are you running in the front and rear?

 

Nope. Don't care to. If I wanted to do all that to a Z I wouldn't buy a Nismo Z. I bought it for what it is. The best factory built 350Z other than the 380RS.....

 

well... that is YOUR philosophy.
people upgrade suspensions on 130K+ porsche GT3s because there is better stuff.. go figure if it doesn't exist for a 40K car.

 

ya well, when i think "Rocking" a 350z...nismo or otherwise, i think hot laps at the track, road, autoX'n and drifting but hey if you like driving a purdy nismo down the street to work every day then don't come with the comments as to "why" people change things, Cant blame the OP for upgrading his suspension and wanting more performance.......

as he even pointed out the nismo suspension sucks nuts in the adjust ability and tune ability portion.......to me regardless of how much better it is over a typical 350z.......if given to most of us that know the difference would change it out anyways!

to each his own i guess

e.x.a.c.t.l.y....

^ To each his own....Ataru074 for someone who heavily tracks their car I agree there is always something better. Most do it & make the car unbearable on the street. The stock Nismo setup is a great balance for street and track driving.
