Height of a Nismo Z
 

Can someone with a Nismo Z do a measurement for me?

Whats the front and rear hight? from the ground to the fender well.

dont know the height but its about 10mm lower than regular models..

Yeah I know but I wanted to get real world numbers.

I just measured my base Z with Nismo wheels.

27 3/16" front
28 3/4" rear

Just measured one of our Nismo Z's for you and it's about 27 3/4 all around, hope this helps!

Thanks!

Interesting. This coincides with someone mentioning that when they installed Nismo S-Tune springs that the front was higher...

Well I can confirm the front is now half an inch higher than stock! Rear is the same. WTF Can't wait to get some springs

does the s-tune dampers (struts) have perches lower than stock? maybe that's why you have higher ride height because you only swapped the springs?

Did you just swap out the springs, or the struts as well?

I don't see a dramatic change in height in front or rear, but it handles way better.

No I swapped the whole S-Tune stut and spring assembly.

Did you notice it settle after the install? I doubt it will settle. I am thinking of just getting some TEIN springs for the S-Tune struts.

Yes, by a considerable amount. It went from "Ugh... I see why some people don't like this..." to "Ah, stiff, but not unkind to mine or my woman's butt".

Now the ones I picked up had a few 1000 miles on them, so I guess they had already "settled" once, and after having the car loaded on them for a few days, went from "ugh" to "ah".

As to the ride height, I took a piss-poor measurement using the number of fingers I could fit between the top of the tire and the fender, and in both front and rear, I lost about a finger's width (with a bit more in the rear I think), so that seems about right to me.

I'll get out there with a tape measure and get a proper measurement later.

Where did you go -- ground to fender arch?

EDIT: I got 28" exactly in the front and 27.75" in the rear.

Of course, it's dark and raining so I could be a bit off...

Are the Nismo wheels and tire combo a slightly different height maybe?

ground to top of wheel well arch. I am getting about 28" on the front and rears. I was 27.5" on my stock setup front and 28 rears.

I like the better handling, but I also do not like it being higher in the front. I hope it settles some! I want to get the RS*R springs on. Or maybe Swift.

Hmm. Here's what the shop manual says...

So in theory, no change in the front and slightly lower in the rear.

Oh, minor update and correction with better measurements (during the day and not raining).

Spt Pkg with 19' wheels and Nismo springs/struts =

Front: 27.875"

Rear: 27.750"

That is all :tiphat:
