NISMO springs for my Vert??
 
I just finished reading through the lowering spring thread in this forum and although it had some great information, I didn't see any details on how much the NISMO is lower than stock.

I Have a '13 vert that I would like to drop about .5 - .75 of an inch and have been having a tough time finding the right application. H&R's make a vert specific spring which is a bit extreme for me and coilovers are out of my snack bracket.

Does anyone know the height/lowering diff. between the Nismo and stock springs and taking into account, the vert will be a touch lower due to the increased weight so I'm hoping that this is what I'm looking for??

Thanks in advance! :tiphat::tiphat:

The sites (Z1 and other car part sites) always say the NISMO springs have a 0.3"~0.5" drop, but if this thread says anything, apparently its not noticeable... Who knows, I never got around installing my NISMO springs and I don't plan to since I've decided to get a set of Swifts. I'd say you should go for the swifts if you're gonna go for a drop.

MAYBE since the convertible is slightly heavier, MAYBE you may get a noticeable drop.

This is so confusing. Anyone else care to pipe up?

All I want is about .5 to .75 drop on my vert. Most springs drop .25" extra on the vert due to the increased weight.

I read in some threads that Nismo springs may actually raise the front a bit. Maybe you need adjustable coil overs. I am not an expert.
