I would always buy aftermarket struts when I would install lowering springs but it seems a lot of people swap out struts on their Nismos. Am I right? Would aftermarket springs on nismo struts reduce the life of the struts?
I think you would because most springs are lowering springs it would stress on the stock(nismo) struts more unless you get the swift springs. If you swap out the struts, you might as well just get coilovers instead. Just my 2 cents.

I've never had luck with coilovers - the right gets harsh after a while... bone jarring actually.

I actually like how my Nismo rides right now, it's pretty comfortable but just looking for a mild drop. Looking into the tein s-techs but I was wondering if it's okay to drop these on the Nismo struts or if I should invest in aftermarket struts too...
