Nismo VS Sport Package Springs, Struts and Shocks
I am hoping someone can help with this suspension component question.
I know the springs are different between the Nismo and the Sport Package but are the front struts and rear shocks different? Thanks, |

i've been looking this stuff up for weeks. They are definitely different. The rebound and compression are slightly higher on the nismo, though not enough to really make a good difference. I believe the nismo s tune struts are even higher compression and rebound than the oe nismo

what mod? struts? or struts taken from a nismo?
struts from a nismo, not worth the time, but a good set of struts is better for performance than a set of springs. However, a good set of struts will run you at least 1k$ and even as high as 12k$ for fancy ones.

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?

For looks: go Swift springs For performance and looks: go coilover (not comfy though) for performance and you don't care about looks: a set of good struts (however a lot of people here will disagree with the last bit because they care about looks or they haven't had enough hands on racing experience) It all depends on what you want. I personally think the stock height is way too low, so I'm not going any lower, just getting better dampeners soon. If i pony up the money I'll have some custom built double adjustables for around $3k, but otherwise Koni are a good choice at $1k

Sort of -- they are stiffer and perform better, but really, the major advantage is that they are inexpensive.
If you want better than OEM on a budget, go for it. If you have a little cash to play with, I say pass on coilovers and get a set of Koni yellows plus swift springs.
