How Much Harsher is the Nismo Ride?

there are patches of freeway or similar in Houston where the road undulates. (alot of little bumps, haha) anyways when you hit these spots you will be apologizing to passengers.

That's a good one. I try to drive "comfortably" when I have a passenger, but have noticed the "shuck-n-jive" happen every so often. I can't stop laughing at that.

OP:

The NISMO is definitely stiff riding. I can't say that it is harsh, but it is not very forgiving on busted roads. That being said, a 240SX/S13 Fastback with JIC Magic FLA2 Coilovers is far worse on the same chopped up roads.
