If the ride on your Nismo is too stiff just remove the front spacers that your dealer forgot

I drove both cars as well as other sports cars. Yes the Nismo rides harsh. But trust me, you will get used to it just like me.

Almost all Nismos have suspension widgets installed for delivery purposes and the vast majority are delivered to owners with the widgets still installed making the ride far harder than it should be. See the suspension thread in the Nismo section of the forum for more info.

The ride is still very stiff, but that's what we buy them for.
