since nissan took the time to add in all the extra bracing, does anyone know if they beefed up the suspension at all to compensate for the extra weight? i was thinking along the lines of springs and sway bars. they already make a bigger sway bar for the hicas cars so maybe....

the bars I removed from my vert were the same as the stock ones on my coupe. The springs are stiffer or taller (not sure which) and the shocks are valved a little stiffer to accomodate them, but those are the only differences I noticed, and I've spent a lot of time on both.
