Lowering the Nismo
 

I am determined to lower my 2009 Nismo by ~1 inch, front gap looks too large for my taste, plus I am thinking of going to the track on more regular bases and would like to be closer to the ground:) Any known options?
I called Tein today, they said that they have not tested any of their products on 2009+ Nismo. I am starting to think I should have gotten a regular 370 model.

Swifts FTW!!

im running eibach pro-kit...its awesome so far.

Why would any manufacturer sell something that they have not tested? It seems like there research and developement is on the outs especially if they are making a product for a specific model. I would look else where imo. Im with ya on lowering the front an inch or so. I think they keep it up on stock trim so your everyday guy dont scrape so much.

Yeah go with the swift. I just got mine a few days ago from Japan. Find jj-nismo and look at his pics of his car after the swift springs . The springs actually level the car out perfectly and they improve the ride both on the street and the track.

+1 on the swifts

Thanks, I'll look it up. Any info in spring rates?

You cannot go wrong with the Swift Springs. I did both front and Rear Camber when I did mine. I looked at it this way " I am already there may as do it". We also installed my Rotora 6/4 brake kit at the same time.

The drop on the swifts looks great in person.

Why? The Nismo Z is just a Base Z with stuff added to it, thats why. It's the same car!

Anyways, I had the Nismo Ed suspension on my car and it sucked. I got the Swifts and they are awesome. About a 1" drop.

regardless a nismo has different valved shocks/spring rates...i heard nothing but good things about swift...i drive my car a lot on a daily basis so i went to eibach pro-kit which has stock spring rates but progressive springs vs the stock linear spring which is more towards performance...its a bit less harsh on the pot holes and what not and handles the same to me.

with keeping the stock spring rates u also keep the longevity of the life of the struts.

go with the Swifts...Swift actually tested there Spec R's on a Nismo.

This threads kinda got me thinking about getting some springs. I like the way both the eibach and the swift springs make the car sit. I wouldn't want it any lower than that though.
