Need help for a suspension set up! Please.

sjang · 01-20-2015, 12:02 AM

Alright guys.
I have a 2014 370z Touring.
It came with Euro-tuned shocks as yall know.

I don't really know about Shocks and suspensions. So i need y'alls opinions.

I have Tein Lowering springs and Swift Spec R lowering springs.

I also have Nismo Shocks as well.

Which Shocks would you guys use with which combination of springs i have?

1. Tein S-Tech + euro
2. Tein S-Tech + nismo
3. Swift Spec-R + euro
4. Swift Spec-R + nismo

Can't decide which one is better. Need yalls experiences. Thank you.

Tein is junk and as far as we know sport and nismo aren't different shocks. The springs are but you aren't going to notice if the shocks are. 3 or 4, you pick.

Sport and Nismo are different shocks. They're not a huge upgrade, but if you already bought them for some reason, use them plus the Swift springs. Also, you'll 99.9% need camber arms (F&R) and toe bolts.

Put the swifts on your current dampners and see if that gets you where you want to be. Upgrade to coilovers if that doesn't do it for you. My 2 cents

You already know Kamispeed's answer!

Swift all the way. I know they work exceptionally well with the Nismo shocks.

Also throw in some SPL rear camber links and toe bolts and you will be good to go.

I know the part numbers are different but who here has actually dynoed the shocks to see if there is a valve or performace difference? I don't think anyone has and I don't think there is. Like most coils you have a 2k +/- swing before you need to change things. The nismo springs aren't that far off from the sport springs so maybe nissan did or didn't revalve.

So when you buy Nismo shocks out of the Nismo catalog, they're actually selling you the exact same shocks as you get on the sport already? Sounds plausible

You actually think you'll see or feel anything?

When you buy out of the nismo catalog you get nismo parts? No, you get the S tune stuff. It's not the same that comes on the car.

Never mind.

synolimit · 01-20-2015, 06:50 PM

Nvm.
