Here's the plan
Going to test drive the Z this week, hopefully minus the bounce! Having a hard time finding a black manual Nismo anyway. So, we'll see what happens and hopefully it's a little smoother. That way I won't have to get the girls reduced.

there is a extremely high chance that the spring spacers are still on and that you will have a rough ride on your test drive. Once those come off it is much much better.

Be sure to check the tire pressure as well. It should be 35PSI cold. My NISMO came with it set to 45PSI all around and after being lowered the car felt smoother. I can only assume dealers set it high so if a car is sitting on the lot for a long time they don't have to worry about it being under inflated.

Where have you looked in Houston for a black Nismo?

It's ridiculous you can drive a car this fun for $36k. If you can get it for cheap, it's a no brainer.
Did the car you drive have the Sport Package? I would imagine not - most likely why you preferred the ride. Do it!!!

The ride is the same aside from the different tires, slight difference for sure but not all that much. Stiff Nismo with spring spacers, well that's going to feel like they forgot to install suspension.
