Sorry about the jumbled mess of a post but I'm using an iPod because my stuff hasn't been shipped from Guam yet by the navy.

So the nismo has the same specs? I had not realized that, I was ways told/read that the nismo model had not only had stiffer coilover and dapeners but also a more aggressive camber and toe as well to make it more track worthy.

Now I understand that those adjustments can make the car feel floaty or whatnot but keep in mind it's even driving in a straight line. I will get over 80-90 and the car will literally start wagging it's tail and front all over, and there's no tire squeal so it's not breaking loose, it's the car itself moving all over on the suspension and it's almost impossible to keep it in control. If that's really toe then I'm amazed at how much of a difference that makes lol.


Toe can make all the difference in the world. The HRF I'm looking at says the Nismo uses the same specs--could be wrong though.


Toe makes a huge difference in stability. I run zero toe up front to help with turn in, and the car is significantly less stable at highway speeds than before.

If you post up your alignment sheet that might be helpful in giving advice.
