Question regarding the base model front shock absorber vs the NISMO

diddy535 · 05-22-2013, 01:27 PM

You could Nismos on a a base but why would you and why would you just do the front? Swift springs are way cheaper and seem to be used more as an upgrade for base Zs vs upgrading to nismo.

Good point,

My Z is about at that point where it needs the shock absorbers replaced. When I called the parts house I did not ask about the rears as they should be indenticle any way, at least they are pictorially.

he wasn't looking for springs he was looking for shocks. If he wanted to keep it closer to oem he could get the stiffer springs instead of the swifts, which if I am mistaken, aren't they lowering springs?
