Much difference on Euro-suspension?

As I know, the 370Zs from 2013 are equipped with new euro-suspensions. I own a 2010 Sport, and have not experienced the newer suspension yet. Just curious: Is there much

Default Much difference on Euro-suspension?



As I know, the 370Zs from 2013 are equipped with new euro-suspensions.

I own a 2010 Sport, and have not experienced the newer suspension yet.

Just curious: Is there much performance difference on the Euro one and the previous basic one ??

And one more curious: (seriously) If the newer suspension is Euro-one, then can I call its previous basic suspension as Japanese-one .. ??

I can tell you the Nismo suspension has changed from the 2012 model year to the 2013 model year. The dampers are much better, less jarring over harsh bumps.

The Nismo trims have nismo-suspensions, right ??

A 2013 is a little less harsh compared to a 2012. Totally different than the sport or touring models tough.

The NISMO even in 14 is still pretty harsh, the '15 felt much softer when I drove it in comparison.

i have a 2013 sport/touring and test drove a 11 sport/touring before buying mine. from what i can tell the 2013s are squishier...lol

seems they went with different/softer springs but kept the same shocks or very similiar valving. its not super jarring down backroads but you feel the squishyness when charging into exit/on ramps.

hope this helps
