It's about time, gutting the Nismo suspension.

Don't know how temperature sensitive your shock fluid is in the coil-overs. It might be stiff in the morning and soften as the temperature raises. My customed valved Bilstein 7100's on my Power Wagon are like that.

Yeap, that is what it feels like hence one click stiffer.

My setup did very well on the Dragon this last week. Extremely happy with it.

Rusty · 05-21-2017, 08:57 PM

I never could get a clean run on the Dragon this. Between the police, a motorhome, slow locals, tourists. After 3 tries, I gave up.

Did have fun on Friday's Highland Cruise.

I told ya to be a the Fontana Store in the morning at 7:00am. We got some clean runs in. A couple of folks in the way but not many at all. We basically had the road to ourselves for the most part.

Lucky you! I was going for the diff cooler as well. I got the harness bar from MA though, as well as the GTR dealer launch book so I can't be too upset lol.

Interesting read, I was going to get a KW V3 kit again + SPL arms. I had the same on my previous 370z 2010 and the car was on rails. Then I switched to a GTR for 2 years, now back on a Nismo 2017 :lol:

Aragostas you're saying...

OptionZero · 05-29-2017, 09:49 PM

KW V3 is a much lower level coilover.

You want Aragosta Type-S w/ pillowballs all around

Do they make a true coilover setup or just OEM style?

Spooler · 05-30-2017, 09:57 PM

If anyone would ask me if I would go back to the stock Nismo suspension the answer is simple. Heck NO!!!! Money well spent. I would actually spend more if it was needed.

New rims on the way to go with the suspension. You'll just have to wait and see what I got. I am stoked.
