Default Nismo Ride Height

Hey I was just wondering how owners with the Nismo shock and spring kit felt about the ride height when used with 19" wheels. We have done a few cars at the dealer I work at with Eibach springs and they have looked great. I think I would preffer the Nismo set up for my own car though.

Thanks.

The Nismo S-Tune lowers the car 20mm all the way around. It's just the perfect height for daily driving while getting rid of the 4x4 look of the stock suspension.

Those look lik 18" wheels though? There is still a bit of gap eh? I would love it if someone had a pic with 19" wheels.

yes those are 18's...

but the overall tire diamater of your 19's is the same if you got 245/35 / 275/35 19 tires...

That would be great. I have to order something next week. I just bought the car and I am getting some stuff done before I drive it.

I guess lowering the car with stock wheels will make them look more tucked.

I am very happy with my nismo suspension setup. I've had various coilovers such as HKS, tanabe, tein, in the past, and love the nismo the best out of all of them.
here is my car on nismo suspension and 19s...
