Nismo Struts/shocks - G37 sedan
whats up everyone. just wanted to post a little bit about my experience with the suspension swap since I've seen a few questions about all this around the forum without any solid answers.
will the struts/shocks off of a 370z nismo fit the g37?
- YES
Will the front and rear sway bars fit the g37?
- Yes, but only the rwd models.
Will this affect the ride height of your car?
- this depends mostly on what springs you're running. Stock nismo springs will normally lower the car a little bit.
is this mod worth it?
- if you find a good set with low mileage for fairly cheap, then don't be scared to pull the trigger on that.
How is the ride quality?
- the car is A LOT more stiff now. these struts are valved aggressively compared to stock. Im sure the eibach springs do not help but they can be harsh at times compared to stock. Pretty much the same ride as an entry level coilover with eibach springs and Nismo struts/shocks. However, the ride is not bouncy after hitting bumps and what not, just firm.
Performance and handling
- the car definitely seems to corner better and the steering response has increase. Body roll is reduced a little as well.
would i do it again, or recommend it to a friend?
- most likely not. the ride is a little to harsh for me since i had high hopes of retaining a good ride. I would recommend trying it with a softer spring. or maybe the stock spring. let me know if anyone has any other questions. ill edit the post.
