What NISMO springs are you referring to?? Are you referring to the NISMO Springs? Or the S-Tune Springs?

When you say NISMO Struts...are you referring to the OEM NISMO struts? Or the S-Tune struts?

The reason I ask is that I was not aware that the NISMO S-Tune Springs/Struts were available seperately. I am just curious....

That's the setup that I have now. (Nismo OEM Shocks, Swift springs)

It's pretty good.

I'll be selling mine pretty soon when I get the coilovers in though.

I've always heard that the Nismo springs are a lot stiffer than the Swift.

I never had the Nismo springs, however. My car isn't a Nismo.

I can say that the Swift/Nismo Strut combo is a very good option for a street driven Z though. Hopefully I can sell my set when I get my coilovers next month.

Does anyone have any comparison on the OEM Nismo v S-Tune Nismo struts and springs?

Looking to pick some up, I'm sure I can find some OEM Nismo components from people who 'upgrade' a lot cheaper.
