The aero changes didn't "increase" downforce, it moved it, made it more "usable". Whether thats true for just the street or track setup, idk. For me, the bodykits are a wash. I prefer the pre 15 spoiler and wheels. I also don't like that Nissan "softened the car up for the 15+.
"softened the car up". I'll admit, I've never driven a pre-'15 Nismo for comparison, but damn if mine doesn't feel stiff-as-f*ck! (and I love every bit of it )

"Softened up" does not mean "less sporty" nor does it make it a sissy. In this case, it's actually just slightly different dampening. It's a good thing imo. Don't be offended.

Ha! No offense taken... I do remember reading something about that a while ago... I was just busting on the idea of the Nizzy having "softened" suspension! (And damn I can't imagine what it's like driving the older ones if it feels firmer/stiffer lol)
