Thanks

I did not like the ride in my Nismo as well. I put on some Tanabe springs and it dropped the car about .8 in in front and 1.0 in in back. The ride is 100% better a little softer but not to soft. I know someone who swapped out there springs on his nismo and his car was bouncing around as he drove it . I did not want that. I think the ones i have are right in the middle between to soft and Nismo stock. Hope this helps. Keep in mind I also have 20in wheels so i dont know how that affects the ride too.

I didn't think the stock suspension on my nismo was that bad however I do remember it being a big concern when purchasing. However I just installed Tein S Techs lowering springs and the ride feels better, the handling is better, and the drop is sexy. And not to mention got em for $198 on eBay.
