2018 suspension

Does the base or heritage have the same suspension as the sport? I know the brakes and limited slip and syncro rev matching come with sport but all the window

Does the base or heritage have the same suspension as the sport? I know the brakes and limited slip and syncro rev matching come with sport but all the window stickers just say sport suspension on all.

All the same. The Nismo is the only model with an upgraded suspension.

From 2009-2018 the suspension was the same not unless you want to fork over all the coin for a Nismo Z. The stock suspension on the Nissan 370Z overall isn’t bad but there is areas for improvement though as any sports car. You could always purchase a Nissan 370Z with base suspension add Nismo or other aftermarket suspension your options are endless.

I bought my Z for comfort. It is comforting to me to know that I have a 370Z in my garage. Like a security blanket of sorts.

Already owned one so I know what I am getting into. Was not sure if sport and base were the same suspension.

the base model comes with 18 inch wheels vs 19 inch with lower profile tires. so the base rides better than the sport with the same suspension.

If comfort is the game, no matter which trim you get, I would suggest Koni Dampers if you don't plan on going too in depth with the suspension. They are more comfortable than stock on the softest settings and rebound stiffness is harder on the hard settings as well.

2015. Nissan soften up the dampening, spring rates, and bushing hardness. But you would be hard pressed to tell the difference.

Comfort and sportscar are not directly proportional unless you want to go German!
