15" Base Suspension

bulldog82098 · 10-14-2014, 08:09 AM

What type suspension does my 15" base come standard with?
Is it the same as the Sport, Touring etc.??
What is the most popular upgrade and how much ballpark???

The base isn't the same as the sport not sure how drastic of a difference it is though.

Unless you track the car I've here'd a lot of people say the sport setup is the best of both worlds. Not as harsh as the Nismo but better than base.

Did they change something in the 2015 model year? I believe base and sport were the same suspension and only the nismo was different. Maybe it was that the spings were the same between base and sport and the dampers different. It should be easy to check by looking up part #'s.

15 ft.?

'15.

There is no differance between a base and a sport other then brakes, and rims. The Nismo has bigger sway bars, stiffer springs, different valving in the shocks, wider rims, exhaust, different tune and body work.

The sports package has upgraded brakes, LSD, Rims, Sport tuned suspension, and synchro rev matching. So the suspension is different how different I don't no but something was done.

Got this quote from the Nissan website. This is the description for a sport model.

The 370Z® comes equipped with new, sport-tuned shocks giving it a suspension dialed in for more performance.

Forgot about the LSD. I said about the brakes and rims.

Rev Match is not supension. But, it is included.

Here, search for the difference in shocks.

Don't want to get into a pissin' match. But the base has sport suspension too.
