Wrong the Nismo suspension is harsh as hell! I had it on my base for 2 months and it was too much. Great for a track car though!

most coilover kits have harsher spring rates than the nismo kit, and plenty of people DD with them.

But I also bet they have set the settings lower to allow the non gut wrenching ride quility too. Remember the Nismo springs are linear and are evenly harsh, as my Swift Spec R's seem to not be as linear (coils are not evenly spaced, which a true linear spring will.) and seem softer and OEM like but are overall a lot stiffer spring. (stiffest spring on the market for the 370Z)
