I bought nismo cause I thought it will feel the same but give me better handling
And won’t void Warrenty.
Little advise please
Firstly, what year Nismo struts did you use? The 2015+ Nismo shocks/springs were softened a bit to give a better ride without sacrificing handling. My 2016 Nismo does not feel harsh at all. You also need to keep in mind that Nismos also come with chassis dampers and various supplementary braces. Maybe that has something to do with my ride feeling perfect.
Secondly, never heard of a firm riding car hurting the convertible top mechanism. I have a buddy who has a 2010 convertible with a firm suspension and he hasn't experienced any top problems. Of course, it all depends how firm your ride is exactly. If it's teeth jarring, then I'd be more concerned about the fact your chassis lacks the stiffness of the coupe and therefore will flex more with a hard suspension and cause more issues with cowl shake and general handling/feel.
