New to site, and I have a couple questions.

I've usually done my own suspension work, but the last car I worked on was my 78 Camaro, so they're a completely different animals. I talked to the dealer and they'll do it but obviously not warranty it unless I overpay for the Nismo springs.

Any warranty would be thru the parts manu. If the price is right go for it. Just remeber that you may have to do a caster/camber kit for them to get it within spec.

I did a complete suspension on my 76 280Z in my driveway. The big issue is the new springs. If you look they are a beehive shape that conventional spring compressors cannot grip.

Cool thanks, I'll check with them on that. I also have to check with some local performance shops to see what they'll charge. If I can do all the lowering/spacing for under a grand i'll be happy. At least I know the exhaust will be a pretty straight forward do it yourself project.

iSteve you might want to do your exhaust first cause it is hard to get a jack under a lowered Z especially if you put on side skirts and front lip. Only issue with exhaust is the deamon bold on the cats.
