NISMO springs for my Vert??

KraTToR · 10-19-2013, 01:09 PM

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!

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.
