Thanks - what about the rears?
Seems like everyone is saying there are multiple variances in the # of these widgets on their particular car's springs. Maybe some fall off during shipping or daily driving? Bottom line - how many should I be looking for on the front springs and how many on the back? Some folks are saying they are hard to find - especially the back, so want to know max for each spring so don't leave any behind by mistake. Thanks.

Did it
Thanks again for all the insights. Trust NISMO drivers more than dealerships now - for sure. Took it to Orr Nissan in Corinth TX (near Dallas/Denton), worked with Vernon in their service, who knew EXACTLY what I was speaking about, told me they take the widgets off ALL NISMOs as they come onto the lot, and took mine off for FREE. They only took 2 off per side, and swore that that's all that were on them, so hope that's right - he gave me no reason to think otherwise. Took car for aggressive drive straight from dealership on freeway and curvy back road - smooth as silk and the lateral skipping is gone. Actually had Mercedes SUV in front of me who saw me in rearview mirror and tried to run away - I stuck to him like glue on the bumpy, curvy road and it felt GREAT! If in Dallas, see Vernon for service. And, again, thanks to all of you who posted on this subject as I no longer have to convince myself that the former rocky ride I had was supposed to be like that as I shook the fillings out of my teeth!

Found out this morning the 2013 Nismo I purchased on Saturday has at least one spacer on each front shock. I thought there was too much space between the tire and wheel well, and now I know why.. Getting them removed at a local dealer today.

They take out the 2 that they can see. But leave the one in the back on because they can't see it.

Hey Guys, so I've got a 2009 with 20k miles on it and went to check for spacers. Sure enough...they were on both front wheels.
So my question is, should I take it to the dealership and request all new front suspension? Not sure how much damage could be done having them on there that long. ??? Thoughts? |

Do the spacers visibly lift the front lip? Anyone know how large the gap should be before/after removing the spacers? Trying to figure out if I have the spacers without taking it to a dealer...

Turn the wheels all the way to one side. Now reach around the tire, and feel around the coil spring. Make sure you feel the back of the spring. Sometimes tha dealer will remove 2 of the spacers and leave the one at the back of the spring in place.

I bought my nismo 4 days ago, I did notice the front end a bit higher inside my Garage then when I bought the car. I just checked and both of the front have it. I'm glad I only have about 200 miles on it so far. Going back to the dealer tomorrow morning.

My nismo since getting it has been bumpy/road noise etc. just checked this thread and sure enough they were there. Took my car in 3 times to get checked out for the tires wearing uneven etc they never noticed em. Could this cause suspension alignment problems? I've had the car 1k miles, bought at 16k certified pre owned, noticed bumpy ride etc from the get go
