Hey brother, im not sure because i haven't seem them in a while but back in the days they used to sell these clamps that you can put on the springs that all it does it gets two of the coils and puts them together. I don't know if you would do that to your Nismo but just to put it out there. In cheaper cars people just cut a coil or heat it up but then again we wouldn't do that to our Z so without changing the springs, that would be the best bet.

Thanks, but yeah I'd like to take the "right" way of doing this. If there is one without springs.

Fat passenger?

Seriously though, don't try any bootleg stuff, some new springs are your best bet.

it really does sit lower! besides that tho? get you some swift springs and a camber kit man.. our cars a pricey and being that yours is a nismo? don't keep out.. around $500 bucks is chump change compare to 40-50k
