i would like to see how much lower the nismo sus kit is on a non nismo Z. the drop of .4" or whatever they claim may not even look lower than what was on the non nismo Z to begin with.

Yeah I'm not interested in coilovers either. Just something more sporty but yet still rides nice. Koni still isn't making anything yet, unless the ones from the 350 work.

I'm interested in case something comes up. I wish Koni would put something together for the 370's... you'd think with how long they've been out there would be something by now...

Yep, and Tokico says it will be 12-18 months before they have dampers for our car. Seems like the lead times are unnecessarily long. Look how fast Stillen develops sharp products.

In theory you can run up to a 10% difference between spring rates for a spring matched to a given dampener and be okay -- so... that means we just need to know the OEM spring rates. Then you can mix and match appropriately.

I just went and got a set of the Nismo springs/struts from another member. Should be getting them installed next week or two.
