Stuck between Swift and Eibach springs for the Nismo

NismoNY · 02-19-2015, 04:19 PM

Hey guys,

I've searched long and hard on this and even saved some pictures of Nismos on these setups for reference but I'm still stuck and don't know which one to get. I'll pair them with OEM nismo struts and I'll get rear camber arms and toe bolts for the rear too. My issue with both these spring setups is they don't look even. I HATE the rear end droppy/saggy look with the front slightly higher and from pics I've seen it seems that both are like that if you look closely.

I also read that Eibach springs were made for the Nismo struts... so are there two sets of springs Eibach offers for the 370z (one for the Nismo and one for non-Nismo)?

I DON'T want to go lower than either of these setups. Does anyone have any feedback here or been in this situation?

Thanks,

This is one Eibach setup that I like a lot

Lowering the Nismo

But notice the rear droops a bit

The drop is actually pretty even with the Eibachs. Also, the Eibach springs and bars were designed specifically for the Nismo 370Z. If you can find a set of Eibachs I'd go that route but they've been discontinued for a while now.

Found this on the Eibachs... doesn't sound too good

Eibach to produce Nismo Pro-Kit springs.

Perhaps Swift springs is the way to go...they just drop the rear too much for my liking

Eibachs will produce less drop than Swifts...the popular vote if you have search far and wide is resoundingly in favor of Swifts. This does not Eibach's are bad, most prefer Swifts for their superior ride and stance!

I have the swift springs on my Nismo and have nothing but good things to say about them. I haven't noticed an uneven drop with mine, however my front tires are shorter than OEM sizes. They feel great to drive on even with linear rates. I did notice they took a few weeks to settle completely as I could barely tell the difference the day I installed.

Thanks for the feedback.

I ended up purchasing Swift along with HR 15mm spacers, rear camber arm and toe bolts. I hope this combination does not disappoint!
