Default NISMO suspension needs help... LOL

My Nismo rides good and is on rails for the most part. What I have an issue with is the struts. The dampening is terrible on the interstate. I wish that they had a 2 setting like the older 300ztt's did. That being said I am looking at an upgrade. Who has went from stock Nismo to Swift/Koni's and those folks that have went to a good set of coilovers. Has anyone keep the stock Nismo springs and just changed to Koni's?


I have been reading for a week on this. So, I am educated. I just need some personal expriences for folks who have done it.

Anybody near me that I can take a ride in their car with Swift/Koni upgrades? I keep searching and searching for more data on this site. I'm finding it too.

Already done. Very familiar with that issue. I was a Nissan Tech years ago. Pulled them out of a 1996 300ztt before with 36,000 miles. Yes, I had 2 per side left on the car that had 19,000 miles on it. They came out the day I drove the car home. I saw them before I bought it and had a good chuckle.

My issue is the rebound on hard bumps is drastic. Normal driving, I am good. It almost feels like I am hitting the bump stops. What I want to do is put a good set of coilovers on the car with external reservoirs. If I could ride in a car with them and like the way they feel, I would go for it.

Anybody know if Ohlins has a set for the 370z. I don't see anything on the website. I only see the 350z.
