Not a problem.

Been scrubbing all the blogs on this for a while now... I have a 2012 Nismo

and just purchased Swift springs and H&R 15mm/20mm for my ride. I have stock rims and tires. Apparently everyone says this is THE setup to have..
I was going to just go 15/15 with no change in springs, but the rebound I was getting on the highway was starting to bug me and my GF a bit. SUPPOSEDLY, this will smooth that out a bit and tighten corner turns a lot.

My only worry is that I live in Michigan and our roads are not like Cali and Florida...

oh well... wish me luck, pics to follow.

Let me know if anyone has the same setup. From what I hear, the ride should be perfect and hopefully I won't rub and/or bottom out!

I think the Swift/Nismo damper setup would be the best compromise over all the options for light track duty and street use. Base dampers are too soft and Koni's are a bit stiff. Finding some Nismo dampers in the classified section and grabbing some Swifts for them is a sweet and inexpensive combo IMO. Nismo owners are fortunate to have them already haha.

Same setup here with the exception of the 20mm spacers (I have 15 front and rear). I'm not sure I'd want to go any wider than 15 though, especially in the rear. I don't rub at all (haven't bottomed out yet either) and it did improve my ride a bit, however it is still a stiff ride....but I like it. Just got my KWV3's in the mail yesterday so about to go a tad lower...got a feeling I'm gonna be rubbing soon though...lol

Exactly. On the Nismo wheels, 15mm front and rear is PERFECT. Don't know why so many are stubborn headed about going 20mm. It sticks out too far. (unless you like that stretched out hella wide past fender look) The Nismo wheels are NOT the same size as Sport Ray 19's. 20mm is great on those wheels.

Here is 20mm on Nismo wheels
