No. Courtesy to Tachyon and Post #4. Certainly rm2342 found the better price, though.

Also, these NISMO struts are made by Tokico. Just found that out. Tokico makes excellent products, IMO.

sorry for disappearing for a bit. These are on my coupe. I had that red sedan for about a year lol, had 5 infiniti's since then. I installed these on my 6mt coupe. It is much bumpier than stock and handles much better as well, so to the one who said it would handle like stock but tighter is incorrect. I would say the drop was between 1/2 to 3/4 inch, nothing drastic. I've had eibachs before I can say these are far superior to that for this platform. As I had I came off of KWv3's and I have more confidence in the handling of this car with the Nismo set up than I did with the KW's. Just not adjustable

So it's been a few years, and I'd like to know how things are holding up.

I'm considering this for my coupe and vert... the natural concern for the vert, however, is the yet additional ~400 lbs because it's a vert (so ~800 lbs more than it's intended design for the Z).

Do you think installing this on the vert would be pushing it? I wouldn't want to this to become a safety concern.

Thanks!

The stiffest 370Z spring is 1 kg/mm LESS than the stock G Springs. Installing those Z springs drops a coupe nearly an inch. A vert will drop at least another half inch and probably blow the dampers rather quickly.

I'd just do the IPL springs and shocks if you didn't go with an aftermarket coil over. I'd have to check the part numbers but I suspect the IPL shocks have a different # than the 370Z Nismos. As mentioned, the G's a good deal heavier and spring rates/damping would need to be different.

Personally, if it were a cost thing, I'd do the new Tein Flex Z's and be done with it.
