Nismo springs on Sport...

TheGreatOne

I actually ended up selling the Nismo's and picked up some TEIN's.

Happy except for the fact that its definitely went lower than advertised. So far so good except for getting out of my condo parking, scraping something, but outside of that, its stiffer, handles great and wheel gap is gone, so looks great.

will NISMO springs work on a toyring model? and will it drop the car at all? what should I expect if i install them on the car?

Gotta read the post in the first place man. Not even that long of a thread. Read 3 posts up.

The Nismo springs do NOT lower the car at all. This .4" drop is BS. Get them for the stiffer ride and if you want to stay stock height.

Like stated above I dont know if they lower the car or not but I have noticed after about 5,000 miles that the stock nismo springs have settled a little (maybe 1/4 inch or so).. I am real interested in knowing how the springs ride with the stock sport struts and shocks. Im glad I dont drive my nismo everyday cause it seems to beat me to death. Especially on concrete interstates... It does handles the curves awsome though

Yeah I kinda agree with you on that. The Nismo(car) looks lower is just because the front bumper lip sits lower. The car isn't lower then other trims. Having said that, did you measure it after the springs got settled? And did you get the full Nismo springs + Nismo structs or just the springs? Maybe that will lower your car .4" or so.

i installed the nismo struts and springs on my touring and it did not lower the car at all.
now i'm thinking about putting the swift springs. will those springs on the nismo struts lower the car 1.25/1?
i measured and the front is at 27-7/8" and the rear is at 27-3/4" i measured from the floor to the fender lip. the front actually raised about 1/8". the back is the same.

Just because I read through this looking for handling feedback I figure I would post. After installing springs there won't be much lowering until they settle at which time the Nismo S-Tune springs will only slightly lower your car maybe like 0.25-0.5".

I think that just answered like 1/2 of the posts here.

Gotta agree. I have a '13 sport touring modified with NISMO shocks/springs and sway bars, NISMO exhaust and NISMO wheels. I think the NISMO suspension is maybe 1/4" lower, but it is not a real problem, and the handling is outstanding.

I live in northwest Ohio. Ohio has asphalt highways, Michigan has concrete. When I drive up I75 into Michigan the difference is enormous. I dread entering Michigan due to the horrible ride on the concrete and enter Ohio - with a sigh of relief.
