Nismo Spring/Shock Pricing

jaxchuck · 04-15-2009, 06:58 AM

Ordered the stuff from the lowest priced suppliers yesterday and so far no problems. They all called back to confirm the internet order. It will be shipped out next week.

My decision to go with the Nismo parts was based upon keeping the warranty, my only tracking the car 3-4 times a year and the fact that in my opinion, the engineers at Nissan have more research time with the 370Z than the aftermarket people so I won't need to do much tweaking with the package.

I had a similar thought, but, one thing that dissapoints me regarding Nismo springs is that it doesn't lower the height of the car enought. I believe they lower only about less than half of an inch, barely discernable.

If Nissan had made the Nismo springs much lower, I would have bought it without any hesitation...

I believe the reason that it doesn't lower the car very much is because it doesn't require chamber, toe, caster adjustment. I still haven't been able to find info on how low the drop is though hopefully 3/4 inch like the last nismos.

Big surprise!

The $695 price on the strut/spring package is no longer valid (even though I was the first person to try to order it). I am now trying to lock in the $840 price from another vendor.

To the original sources credit, they offered me their cost plus 10%.

When I finally get the package installed, I will have the car's castor/camber ect. rechecked and reset to the factory specs (listed elseware on this forum). I feel it is just good practice any time a suspension is modified (even with just a little change in ride height).

I'm sure the Nismo suspension will do you fine, but if you want warranty on your suspension parts, I believe that only applies when you get Nismo parts installed by the dealer.

Well, I think the car sits pretty low in stock fashion.. .4" is still going to be noticeable I would think!
