Next up was the suspension. I got some Hotchkis sway bars and had those installed at the same time as the exhaust. Pretty easy mod.



I also wanted to get some RS*R springs but they are not avail here in the US yet. So.... I decided to try out the Nismo S-Tune suspension. Posted a wanted ad and bought a set from the classifieds. Got em installed (with some trouble) but mission successful.

First impressions were, well they are stiff! Very stiff. (I guess I am old now) Well definately would work well on the track! I like them except for one thing. They raised my car .5" !! That's just wrong. I expected a .4" drop. No such luck on my car... So now I am looking into some aftermarket springs with about a .5 to .8" drop. Don't want to go lower!

Comparison to OEM struts:


The ride after the install.
