Nismo? Coils? Springs??

LOL, Yeah, we don't want to talk about how much money each one of us has in the suspension. It's nuts. I want even better dampers/coilovers. I am living with my Aragosta's for now. Time to go back and get under the car, trying to get ready for Zdayz. I am procrastinating big time.

do it right, once

1) save up to do it all at once
2) be diligent scouring the for sale section. Used SPL stuff comes up. Also, there will probably be summer sales popping up in the next few months

Someone is offering Stance XR1's with 15k miles on them in a trade for my swift springs (previous Z that I owned had the swifts) he's including all the other stuff needed with the coils as well. Is this a risk? The deal seems dope to me as i need to get rid of my swifts anyway, but then again who can be trusted nowadays. He's in ohio, Im in NJ.

Sorry if the advices seem to deflate enthusiasm, or inflate budget, but doing it right the first time will safe you $ in the long run.

Well, doesn't help that pretty much everybody commenting here has "very decent" suspension hardware lol.

Stock the car feels great. But I want to lower it. I feel like any coilover around 1,000 is going to out perform nismo SPRINGS. Yeah they're made for track from factory but so are most coils in that range. Also this isn't a nismo GTR where nissan has their whole rep on the line with this car if it isnt top ten at the Nurburgring.

I was thinking just getting H&R springs and calling it a day. Very reputable company where even m3 and 911 gt owners put them on.......I'm just caught in a whirl wind.
