Eibach to produce Nismo Pro-Kit springs.

CFZ

SWIFT Springs in Production

post#74

there a nismo Z on Swift.

s30z

Also, Z's rear end already has a good amount of rear end squat to it when the car accelerates. I have a feeling that the Eibach spring spring might make the rear squat more, since the rear rate is softer compared to front.

This may be one of the rearsons why the rear is stiffer than the front from the factory.

from the factory the nismo came with stiff suspension, period......

the rear end does NOT squat at all! it couldnt hurt to have a bit softer spring back there. look at what robispec did with the KW3s he runs. if im not mistaken he even removed his rear sway bar to help gain some give in the rear.

The Z does squat. Just because you do not feel does not mean it doesn't.
It's funny how you brought up robispecs car because Sway bars have no effect on rear squat. With all the aero he has in the front maybe he was trying to induce a little more understeer. But look at his spring rates. He runs 8kg in the front and 10kg in the rear, without a rear sway bar.

The main vehicle you should be looking at though is Paul Dentice. AEperformance 370z. The car is stock no aero with jic coilovers and a big brake kit. Consistently dominating the timeattack scene and his front to rear spring rate bias is pretty big, if Im not mistaken it was like 14 in the rear and 10 in the front. This car beat out Robi's 370z, and the AEPeroformance 370Z is pretty much bone stock.

You also have to understand that even with these big spring rates it does not mean its really stiff. The rear of our cars has a pretty extreme motion ratio because the rear spring is seperated from the shock. This is one of the reasons why the rear spring is raked up so high.

omg yes 1/2" of squat is still squat yes, but there is VERY lil squat.

i never said the sways had anything to do with squat. i was just saying how he loosened up his rear end and what not.

also do you own a nismo or a tourning edition?

s30z

I have a touring model with all the options available.
I did not get a Nismo because I drove my friend's Nismo, and I felt that it is not for a middle aged guy like myself due to the radical looks. I drive my other toy for track days anyway.

^by what he said I mean Im agreeing with s30Z (LOL)
Damn Fuct you fast!

And also dont forget that our fronts are double wishbone too, so the spring rates do tend to feel much softer compared to other cars with McPherson type suspension.

n e update on this?

Imperial

What sort of update are you looking for? The Eibach's are already in production and are available for purchase.

whoLEEoh

Oh really? I've called places and noone has a price or knows what I'm talking about. Can you please post up the price here?

the part numbers for the nismo specific springs have been posted in this thread somewhere. if not, check eibach's website..there is a nismo specific link in the parts application catalog. then just call any shop that sells eibach products, they should be able to order it and get them for you.

with that said..i believe the prices most shops i called are charging around 300 for the springs

I've since had spacers installed and let me just say the drop looks a lot better when the wheels are "hellaflush" =)

sorry for bumping old thread but eibach is not producing the springs as of yet.

chops

are you sure? i spoke to a few places and they said they were available to order...even eibach's website has them listed as "Item Available"

whoLEEoh

called eibach and they said they only have rear springs the fronts arent done yet so the kit isnt in production
