(SOCAL) NISMO Performance Springs

Overlimit · 03-28-2017, 06:56 PM

Recently laid off and hoping someone will take these off my hands to help me a little bit as I sell some extra parts.

These have been on the car for 12k miles. They lower the car about 10mm (0.4"). I was gifted some Swifts for Christmas which is the reason I swapped them out.

Price: $200 Shipped
OEM Nismo Springs Rates: FRONT: 8.1K REAR: 9.1K
OEM Nismo Springs Drop: 10mm

Fronts

Rears

Forgive me for asking, I just want to clarify for myself. Nismo springs lower by 0.4" over base or over sport springs?

I was under an impression that they actually raised the front. I could be totally wrong.

According to AK there is no suspension upgrade for the Sport package (Pre-14' Models, I assume the post 14' models are the same), so I would assume it to be 0.4" for all non-Nismo models. I believe these would also work on other cars.

Got ya. Thanks.

The spec sheet that comes with the suspension kit says 10 mm drop. When I had it installed on the 09 it was ~10 mm drop all around. It wound up to be the perfect camber on the front @ 1.5 and rears only needed a rear eccentric toe bolts to bring rear camber back in line. (It should be noted that there not good enough for racing or drifting as they will slip and more SPL parts are required)

No idea on what it be on a 2013 + but we will find out, after I have the kit installed.

20mm seems plausible as these were almost the same height as the Swifts when I placed them side by side before the install.

I've reduced the price to $250 shipped in the US.

Shoot, that's like double the .4" I always thought they were too. Not sure I can stuff the 345's with .8" drop. Would need a fair bit of -camber. And here I thought a set of these was my perfect solution... have to give it some thought.

If you decide to go with these let me know, it would help me out a whole lot!

You will get more traction with the stock springs for drag racing with a few rear differential upgrades. However Road courses are a different setup.

Depends what your plans are
