Not worth it. You gain absolutely nothing unless you also replace the control arms with adjustable links, all this is additional costs. If you need this extra level of toe/camber adjustment then you will benefit from these changes. The only "issue" with the remote spring is a higher motion ratio. Within itself this is nowhere near as big as a problem as having to reinforce the strut tower or running the risk of it failing. To be fair the risk of it failing is pretty low unless you some how bottom out the strut and send the maximum force into the tower. If you stay off the bumpstops it theoretical should survive. But another problem is increased chassis flex. The sensation is slightly less pronounced if you are running a stiffer than necessary spring.

Overall the remote spring setup is more ideal as Nissan intended unless you reinforce the strut towers. More tire space, safer and cost less.

Jon at JIC knows what he is talking about. He has several fully built race cars and several street cars.
