I gotta lower the car a little for sure. My Koni swift combo definitely improved handling and made the car a little smoother on road. I'm just wondering what nismo owners think about where my brain is going with using the same suspension setup in my sport.

The Koni/Swift combo is a good set-up. I wouldn't worry about it.

You will probably like it better than the stock Nismo setup. Stock leaves something to be desired on bumpy roads. Aka, missing a kidney.
