Today is May 25th, 2017. Exactly a year ago, I purchased my Z, on May 25th, 2016, with only 14 miles on it.

Something I've been wanting to do for a very long time is some suspension stuff.

So with that in mind, and as a little celebration of sorts, just a few minutes ago I ordered a set of ARK GT-S springs, SPL rear camber links, and SPL lockout bolts. So a little more attitude with a little less altitude.

Needless to say, I'm a bit excited.

One last thing I would like to possibly do is maybe some small wheel spacers just to being these Nismo wheels (and stock tire sizes) out a touch further. Need to find out what sizes would work.

You're gonna have people chime in who's been there & done that w/their Nismo...common fitment is +20---+25 up front & +10---+15 rear.
Your factory wheels are +40F/+23R.
So 15-20mm up front & around 10mm/R,
Wait till after your suspension mods/alignment & make a plumb line on level ground-then measure up your gaps....you may want to be conservative or aggressive.

.
That would be my recommendation,so you can get the fitment you desire.

Excellent! Thank you.

Yeah, I was getting tired when I posted last night and forgot to mention that I would be doing the spacers after the spring install. Who knows, I may like the fitment as is.

One thing I don't want is vibration. When I had the 25mm Z1 spacers installed on the stock 18's and tires, I always got vibration up at 55+ mph, especially around 70-75 mph where I cruise at on the highway. It was annoying as hell too.

And yes, they were installed properly, and even double checked a few days later to try and resolve the vibration issue.

She is getting lubed today in her most sensitive parts and will be very satisfied after. I am sure she will reciprocate by giving me happiness on my drive home.
