I considered the NISMO but the long front end scared me away from it. Figured I'd be scraping it every morning entering the company parking lot. Here's the way I see it.

Wheels_________1/2" wider than sport
Tires___________Can go wider than sport
Body Braces_____More than sport___________Not sure if it's for body or handling
Spring Rate_____Higher than sport__________ Better for track than street
Dampening______More than sport__________ Better for track than street
Brake Calipers____Same as sport

Body Kit________Looks way better
Seats_________The new recaros are really nice!

What's the actual difference in the front end length and approach angle between the sport and the Nismo?

KCZ..,

Like Axmea said, the difference in lenght between base and Nismo model is 3 inches and in weight regarding the 2018 model
The difference is exactly of 116 pounds more for the Nismo model...this represent a huge difference.
