I use to think of getting them, only problem I saw was the car stance still looked high, other then that, I've heard AWESOME things, bumps will be more noticeable but totally livable.

They're KYB dampers and some random springs. You may as well just buy KYB dampers and some good springs, and save yourself a boatload of cash. Unless you're dumb enough to pay like, a few hundred extra bucks because they're OMG NISMO TYTE SUSPENSHUNZZZ LOLOLOL.

They're also non-adjustable and have pretty weak spring rates, and not enough drop. Save yourself the hassle and just buy some coilovers, I'm pretty sure the megans are cheaper than the nismo "coilovers."

And trust me. As you progress as a driver, you will notice spring/shock combos start to let you down as you learn to handle and expect fast load transfer in corners. You're now going to have to spend even more money buying the coilovers you shoulda bought in the first place, or big roll bars to try to band-aid the squishy, inadequate nismo suspension.

hmmm i thought they were actually R&D'd by nissan not just tossed together with the name attached. If that is the case I will probably go with the swift springs, and koni shocks. Coilovers arent really in the plans for this car...but in the other car I am probably gonna run stances

the S-tune are a step up from the stock suspension.

No, they don't have the ridiculous spring rates, or the ride height adjustablilty, or even damper rate control, HOWEVER, I have had mine for a little while now, and i would say that they are a significant improvement over stock. For a daily driver/occasional weekend racer and as a starter suspension, I would say these are quite adequate.

These could probably use a little more drop to them (1.0" F, 0.6" R), which, if they did, would have to go to stiffer spring rates/damper rates (NISMO R-Tune anyone?) but it looks a hell of a lot better than stock, curbs and speed bumps are not my friend.

Stock spring rates = 2kg/mm F&R

NISMO S-Tune = 520 N/mm F and 373 N/mm R

Sorry to dig this back up, but i like mine.
