Don't waste your time like I did. It did NOT lower the car by .4 inches, it in fact raised my fronts .5 inches! And the rear was the same height. Get swifts or Tein H tech if you don't want to go very low.

Correct me if I'm wrong TjLazer
That is correct. The nismo suspention did not lower my car at all, it raised my front by .5 inches. If you look carefully at all Nismo 370's you will see that the fronts look a little higher!

The 370Z crowd seems to love Swift springs. Don't think you could go wrong with them.

Based on what I'm reading most places. Eibach pro kit is less of a drop than swifts. Wouldntt that be more ideal for this situation? I'm actually in a similar situation. I'm leaning toward the pro kit myself..

Tire heights? Or, more likely, sag
