Default Are these the same?

Is the suspension kit seen here ( Nismo?):
http://www.performancenissanparts.co...products_id=39


the same as the "Nismo G-attack" seen here for $200 less:
http://www.gruppe-s.com/350z/zsus.htm


Part numbers appear to be the same, but I've never heard it called the G-attack.


Also, I 'm wondering if anyone feels there is a thoroughly superior swaybar option besides Nismo. I mean, clearly superior or a clearly better value.

Same thing. One has a warranty by Nissan, the other will void your suspension warranty from Nissan. Nissan is having us dealers send in your vin # to attach the suspension to your warranty. It's okay to install it yourself as well. Call me or Jason if you want to talk about it in depth. If this is of no concern to you, then I would save the money and buy it at the cheapest source. Gruppe S has some great pricing that can't be beat on that suspension!!

According to the latest Sport Z magazine installing the Nismo suspension on cars with VDC does not afford you a warranty since the parts are specifically for non-VDC cars. See Nismo Q&A on page 31.

I thought Ohlins only made the R-Tune and not this S-Tune.
