I went with Stillen sway bars rather than the Nismo units.

I've got the exact same set up (Nismo suspension/Stillen sway bars). The ride is definitely stiffer than the Sport, but I really like the improvement in the handling and feel of the car.

I'm willing to bet the OEM Nismos are stiffer.

2011 370Z Nismo part numbers ($1,030 total for all parts listed below IF ordered from a discount Nissan dealer. The '09 and '10 Nismo part numbers are slightly different, probably a revision for '11.)
right front shock = E6A10-1A30B
left front shock = E6A11-1A30B
front springs = E4010-1A30E x2
rear shocks = E6B10-1A30E x2
rear springs = E5020-1A30E x2

Nismo S-Tune "Low Down Kit" $840
kit part number = E3110-1EA00US
The part numbers below are what is in the kit. These part numbers can't be ordered separately.
right front shock = E6110-1EA25
left front shock = E6111-1EA25
front springs = E4010-1EA00 x2
rear shocks = E6210-1EA25 x2
rear springs = E5020-1EA00 x2

Thread Resurrection from the dead- Thanks so much for the part numbers. Has anyone been able to pick up the S-tune parts separately from Nissan yet?

I haven't heard of anyone running the S-tune suspension on their car yet on the forum.

Myself and a few others on here are running the OEM Nismo suspension though.

I'm running the NISMO S-tune "Low Down" springs and dampers on my 2012 sport/touring coupe. I also have the Hotchkis sway bars, and SPL end links. The ride is a little stiffer than the sport/touring was, but I like it. It did drop the car about 1/2-3/4 inch. I've had them on the car since Oct 2012 and put about 20,000 miles on them.

Interesting. I think Nissan changed the suspension set up for '12+, so I wonder how these part numbers compare to that.

I wonder what the actual differences are -- might it be same specs different manufacturers?

Did they change p/n's for the exhausts? -- they are badged as HKS now.

The S-Tune suspension kit is standard on any Nismo 370z. Theses are the pieces i replaced on my Nismo as per the Part Numbers stamped on y original pieces.

i have a 2012 factory Nismo, the factory rear shocks/struts were terrible. super stiff and very bouncy. i ended up replacing the factory Nismo rear struts with the 2013 factory sport shocks/ struts. what a difference that made. handles like i want it to and rides way better.

I just bought a full set of low mileage 2019 OEM Nismo struts /shocks and springs for my non sport 2010 roadster. Are the newer Nismo struts and springs different than the older Nismo suspension pieces? Any more feedback from those of you who did the swap?

I answered you in the other thread. The newer Nismo bits are not as stiff as the older bits. The dampening and spring rate is softer.

DeusExMaxima · 12-03-2021, 10:20 PM

I installed newer Nismo springs and struts/shocks. The front is higher by 1/4" but the rear is like a 4x4..over an inch higher. Springs from nismo are longer. Am I missing something??

Rusty · 12-03-2021, 11:01 PM

Do you have the rear springs sitting in the spring buckets correctly?

DeusExMaxima · 12-03-2021, 11:42 PM

I'm pretty sure. The Nismo springs are longer and thicker wire. In the photo,, the nismo is on top.
