Nissan changed the Nismo suspension for the 2015+ models.

Prior to that, it was extremely stiff and underdamped.

The 2015+ is much more compliant compared to the previous Nismo. Stiffer than a regular Z, sure, but more than tolerable.

Disagree that "all" upgraded suspension will downgrade ride quality. I am currently running Aragosta Type S coilovers. Despite 14/10 spring rates, there is enough damping to control any bouncing around, so although you feel more of the road, its not skittering around and murdering the driver. Lesser coilovers with worse shocks can't handle stiff rates and will feel like garbage. You get what you pay for.

Lower profile tires, spherical mounts on suspension arms - those things are gonna increase feedback but also make the ride less comfortable.
