I just want better than factory springs and struts. Looks like I might have found a nismo setup. The guy is getting me the info from what car they came off of. 550 for springs and struts if I want them.

6 inch cawk is my fave!

Can't beat a nice set of nismo suspension and should be exactly what your looking for...
Best looking 1st gen touring edition wheels ive seen... Makes me want to polish mine up.

I used an impact to get everything off. I only disconnected the 3 bolts on top and the one at the bottom... I pushed down on everything with a big *** spreader...

There is a wings west body kit molded to the body but that picture doesn't show it that good. I'm going to go back to a normal look soon. I'm trying to find a nismo front and rear bumper and new sideas skirts. I'm going to change the paint to a nisland black with blue pearl in the clear. Same color I'm doing my custom fiberglass door panels.

Quick way to tell if shocks are OEM Nismo are a couple of things: Nismo/Yamaha-Tokico shocks are a unique color (silver vs. black) and the springs are red (but then, so are a number of aftermarket springs). So, use the part nos....
Fronts
Rears
It should be noted that the accessory S-Tune ("parts counter aftermarket) Nismo shocks have different numbers on them and have the Nismo logo on them (but may have been worn off since they're just stickers).

So on a nismo model if u wanted to swap the struts out what would u buy as an upgrade? Is it the same options as non nismo z. Like Konica or bilstien struts for non nismo still the way to go. Thinking about replacing the struts.

In the case of a Nismo, as implied by Mike, above, the only thing I'd upgrade to would be Bilstein PSS9/10 or KW-V3 for the fully adjustable capabilities (height, compression, rebound); however, Bilstein won't work for YOUR application since you only want about .5" lowering. These START with a -30mm lowering and go lower.
KW-V1,2,3 start at about -10mm lowering and go lower from there down to about -40mm

So if I paired these with my nismo springs you're saying it would be a bad idea?

If you re-read my post, you'll note I said I had Bilstein. I personally think they're the best street shock available. That will be a good pairing.
