I didn't notice much of a difference in body roll or overall stiffness - I'm not sure the springs are actually different. I'm no suspension expert, but I have to admit I don't see how they would accomplish what I *did* notice without reducing the spring rates slightly or adding a little bit of "progressiveness" to the springs (vs. the prior NISMO linear rate springs.).

It would be interesting to see what the '15 spring part numbers are vs. the 14. I suppose this could just be done with dampers?

Anyway... Mainly what I noticed is that where the '14 seems to bobble/pitch front to back on certain stretches of highway, the '15 did not. It does seem to handle the tiniest imperfections in the road better, but you still know it's a NISMO when the road is even slightly less than perfect.

In other words it kind of went from bouncy/bobbling a lot (like I always wanted to get out of the right lane ASAP to get away from the semi ruts) and very stiff to just... Very stiff, but more planted on uneven surfaces.
