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!

has anyone tried the megan spring?

thispecialk · 02-27-2012, 01:40 AM

im thinking about either getting the swift springs or the megan springs. can you guys tell me how they do on speed bumps and dips if they scrap a lot. what has the best drop that still good for road condition without having to worry about scrapping on speed bumps

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..

I have the eibach pro kit and I'm lower than onzedge and his swifts.

mz3035 · 02-27-2012, 11:34 AM

Lol.. Funny thing is, I havery Eibach sportlines on my se-r spec v and after settling, the car sits way lower than advertised. Tongman, how much did they drop you car?

Tire heights? Or, more likely, sag
