Errgh... that's not good.

Here's the thing, for the cost of coilovers, which I would most likely set and never touch again, I could just buy the Nismos for less and trust that Nissan set it well enough from the factory.

After an extensive search, it looks like there are several spring options, but no matched struts...

Well, I know if the spring rate is within 10% of the shock's rating, it should be okay... so in theory I could get a spring that's 10% stiffer and that would work... I guess

Anyone know of anything announced at SEMA? Maybe something new coming soon?

On a related note, is there a hookup for a deal on Nismo stuff?

Maybe start a GB for the Nismo spring/strut kit?
