It's about time, gutting the Nismo suspension.

Well, what do you guys think. Should I go for the big booty Trudy Tires on the factory Nismo rims?

I have been browsing and searching the forum for awhile, but I haven't found anyone that has gone "full" SPL. The reason for the research is that after upgrading my wheels and rotors with much lighter ones my Z has really felt a lot more spry and nimble. This confirms the concept of improving handling by reducing unsprung weight.

So, what I am wondering is if I were to go "full" SPL titanium parts (which would be quite expensive), to what degree would that improve the handling just from weight savings.

Titanium is an amazing material, which I would think would give the car additional chraracteristics if designed correctly. So in combination with coilovers this seems like an compelling upgrade.

Has anyone gone full coilover/SPL?
