- Are the rims in the Sports Package that much worse than the NISMO's or Advan rims to warrant another $3k expense?
- Any links you can give me that backup the "better than the NISMO" comment? No disrespect, I just like to read up on this stuff in my spare time.
Thanks again for your quick response. |
1 -
CobbTuning.com - Home Page They have a dealer search on there to find a local shop with the appropriate hardware/software to tune your car properly.
2 - The NISMO wheels are wider front and rear, and (I assume) lighter, although both are forged RAYS. The Sport wheels are pretty nice IMO. I'd get some Volks if I didn't have a NISMO.
3 - The NISMO exhaust is merely just the stock exhaust with the muffler housing re-worked to be a dual system instead of a shared muffler. It's really kind of a POS as far as how it relates to true CBEs.
The NISMO springs and struts are just that, springs and struts. Coilovers will give you not only ride height options but also stiffness adjustments.
The NISMO "tune" is really not very well known about, while COBB will allow you to have many different
customizable maps for things like MPG, Everyday, Track, Drag, and even Valet mode (which I love.) The maps are stored within the unit and can be changed easily in a parking lot.
