Nismo rear camber and front upper arms?

Let's not get bent out of shape. It is common for manufacturers to do OEM work. I have to admit, the Nismo badge is cool and would not mind paying for it. Nissan could have chosen an established company from Japan but chose the guys from Austin, TX instead. Congrats to SPL.

Absolutely for those that modify, but not so much for those staying stock

Metal Ball joints for OEM seems overkill

But making them available from the dealer would have been cool

I'm not sure if I like this though. The parts do look cool but it feels like nismo is just being lazy and cashing in on other peoples work. They should have developed this stuff a long time ago imo.

Even if Nismo developed these parts. The price would still be out of sight.

Time passes by and now Nismo camber arms are almost the same price as SPL, actually only the rear arms are a little bit more expensive. To be honest if I were about to choose between SPL and Nismo I'd pick Nismo, at least here in EU. If there would be an accident an insurance company may inspect vehicle if it was road legal. If the inspect will see label `Nismo` there's high chance that he'll assume that's OEM part and road legal IMHO.

I wonder what dealer cost is on the Nismo pieces? Might be advantageous to know the parts guy. (wink)
