Nice.......... I am glad to hear that there is a night and day difference in the ride quality once the spacers are off. Can you also tell a big difference in the height of the front end once the spacers were off? I heard that the Nismo sits about .4 inches and some change lower than the regular 370Z. Please correct me if I am wrong here, but the spacers are ONLY in the front and NOT on the rear?

I am planning on test driving a Nismo sometime next week, or next weekend. Thank God Nissan still has that 0% interest until the end of April. I was thinking about possibly purchasing the Nismo in June or July, but it might be this month......hehehehe

After the 3 spacers (only in the front per side) were removed the front height went down by about .5 inch. Not sure if the whole car is lower than the regular 370Z. I guess it depends on what tire/wheel package is installed. It was love at first sight with my Nismo and it just happened that Nissan is offering the 0% APR. Saw it Sunday (March 25th) during a drive by and took it home the next day!

Thanks and I appreciate it. From what I gathered it is only the front & each side could have possibly one to three spacers. I really want to test drive one right now....lol

Got those too. traded an 09 base 370z w/ sport package for the nismo and first thing i noticed was the suspension being alot stiffer. thought it was normal being more sportier.

After reading this post I went out to my garage and looked to see if my car had them. To my amazement it did! I jacked the car up and removed them in 5 seconds. It brought my front end down 3/8". I bought the car new in 2009 and it's always serviced at the Nissan dealership. I can't believe the dealers not aware of this. Looks like I'll be calling them tomorrow. http://www.the370z.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

I've just stumbled upon this thread, having taken delivery of my new Nismo on Friday. Much to my relief, I found no spacers on either side.

Perhaps Nissan has gotten the word out to their dealerships?

Although my dealer has been pretty good with service. I also have a 2011 Maxima, and they've installed some aftermarket springs/wheels quite competently.

It must depend on the dealer.

I picked up my Nismo yesterday and they were still on there. Both sides.

Much better ride (and look) after removing.

didymus 06-27-2012 12:55 PM

Can't believe this is still happening lol

Put on about 1000 miles before reading this post. They were still on mine too. Dealer felt so bad he gave me vouchers for 3 free oil changes and a tank of gas.

MickeyPvX 08-29-2012 04:05 PM

Well, no ****...mine's got 20K miles, still has the spacers from what I can tell. Creeeap.

Damn i just ordered lowering springs for my Nismo ... lol

LakeShow 11-28-2012 03:50 PM

Lol, unbelievable that people had these things on for so many miles and imagine how many test Nismos got bad reviews for suspension and ride quality because the damn spacers.

Hydra 11-28-2012 04:16 PM

haha but how come some have these spacers and others not :/

Hi I just bought an Nismo and my question is with a jack can you do this yourself or do you need to go to a dealership, and was it hard to remove and how
