TjLaZer's Monterey Blue Z

Next I got the Nismo fascia and Nismo edition side skirts from my local Nissan dealer. Not doing the rear bumper at this time. Need more funds!

No shipping cost which brought a good price for me. I simply picked it up at the Nissan dealer with my SUV. Cost was $1,600 for all the parts (front fascia and side skirts)

Got them painted at Burette's Collision in Lakewood, WA for around $600. I am now awaiting some parts to get them installed soon! Stay tuned!

Have you remeasured since the suspension has had time to settle to see if the Nismo suspenison now gives you the .4 drop as advertised? I have the same suspension setup except I have Stillen sway bars.

I also just got a set of Nismo wheels. I should receive them tomorrow.

Well it was originally a little higher than 28" and now it's right at 28" front. Rears have been right at 28 from day one with no settling. I think thats normal as when I look at Nismo edition 370Z's I can see the front has a little higher gap than the rear. I did not have that with my OEM suspension. Planning on getting some springs soon. Leaning towards Swift Spec R's.

That's one reason I decided to go with 255/40/19s in front and the Nismo stock size 285/35/19s in the rear. My Nismo wheels didn't come with tires. Going from 245s to 255s in front should help fill in some of the gap in front.
