Drop the Nismo on springs w/out changing suspension feel?

YaFeelZ · 03-23-2022, 10:56 AM

If I got swifts on my 2016 nismo will it change the nice stiffness the nismo offers?
Any suggestion using other brand springs if possible, not looking to go coil overs just yet..

Keep your Nismo suspension

Save up

Get coilovers

Springs - only are a waste of time.

also before you start modding your car think about what your plan for the car is gonna be and research parts ahead of time. Don't go slapping on springs just because you wanna be lower. A search will tell you the potential issues, but . . . just do it right, once and you'll save yourself a headache

I figured the nismo struts are worth keeping and just add the swift springs which there rated spring rate is not much off from oem. Getting coil overs would get ride of the nismo spring plus the struts. Wouldn’t that really change the feel of the nismo?

Drop in Swift springs are a Progressive spring. It will change the way the car drives. If you don't want to change that, leave it alone. It takes a good bit of money to upgrade to coilovers that out perform the stock Nismo Suspension. Unless your are willing to sink in 6k for everything you need, leave it alone.
