I have the nismo springs and would like to know what struts to match. It is a daily driver(65k) and not tracked. I just want less lean for aggressive driving and slight more stiffness for bad roads. I already have aftermarket fr.swaybar. KYB or koni good choice? which?

I'm in the same boat. Koni > KYB, but neither is as good as a nicer higher end model. If cost isn't an issue They have custom dampeners that are about 2800$ a set. Set of Koni will run you around 1k, but they're not as reliable in the adjustment as higher end models are.

nismo springs on a base? will lift your car in the front especially. someone already tried that and ended up running swifts.

Going from Base+Sport Package to Base+Nismo from what I've read the ride height will be lowered 0.4", is this true?

If you're talking springs, then Nismo is apparently taller.
