Springs & spacers

[Steve1]

I have a ‘70’ plate 370z Nismo, and I’m looking to get some lowering springs and wheel spacers.

 

This is not as easy as I thought it would be 😬 I have spoken to a few different companies and am getting different answers for what will ‘best fit’. And am told it can be trial and error, I don’t want to go down that road!!

 

Does anyone have the newer 370z Nismo, and had new springs for slightly lowering (not slammed down) and wheel spacers added? If so, can you please let me know sizes you’ve had for both, without having any ‘trial & error’ issues of not fitting/rubbing?

 

I would really appreciate any help with this

 

Steve 😊

Sorry to bump an old thread but did you ever get round to getting some mate?

Ive just got myself a 2017 NISMO and also looking to find the perfect spring and spacer set up

RS-R is just right in our opinion, not too much of a drop to be slammed and scraping on speed bumps but low enough to reduce the arch gap.

Spacers wise, you can see how it looks after the springs are fitted and go for 15mm front and 20mm rear or 20mm front and 25mm rear. 

Would recommend getting an alignment after fitting the springs as well, dropping the car will produce camber which will need to be sorted.

Thanks for the info 🙂

 

I’ve read online that 15mm spacers won’t fit on front of the nismo’s with the stock nismo wheels. 
20mm all round might be the way to go

It's hit and miss with the spacers, some customers find 15mm work, some don't. 

 

Either 20mm all around to be safe or 20mm front and 25mm rear.
