I would look else where imo. Im with ya on lowering the front an inch or so. I think they keep it up on stock trim so your everyday guy dont scrape so much.
Why? The Nismo Z is just a Base Z with stuff added to it, thats why. It's the same car!

Anyways, I had the Nismo Ed suspension on my car and it sucked. I got the Swifts and they are awesome. About a 1" drop.

regardless a nismo has different valved shocks/spring rates...i heard nothing but good things about swift...i drive my car a lot on a daily basis so i went to eibach pro-kit which has stock spring rates but progressive springs vs the stock linear spring which is more towards performance...its a bit less harsh on the pot holes and what not and handles the same to me.




with keeping the stock spring rates u also keep the longevity of the life of the struts.
