Nismo vs Performance Ride Height

[raceheart]

Can someone confirm if the Nismo sits lower or is the same ride height as the Performance trim?
I have looked everywhere .. some say it sits lower, some say it is the same.
Looking at pictures it looks about a half inch lower but it could be an illusion with the different skirting on the Nismo.
Thanks in advance.

4mm lower in the front 1 mm higher in the rear according to the Nissan service manual

Wonder how much of that is the rear tire?

Does this mean the height of the car itself or the seating?

Ride height is the body of the vehicle, not the seating position. You likely should do a Performance trim instead since the driver's seat is height adjustable with the knob.

If your referring to those manual knobs on right side I felr like that was just adjusting the tilt kind of towards the knee region and the other was the lumbar is the a way I can actually raise the whole seat base up ur saying?

Yes, there are 2 knobs, one adjusts the seat cushion height and the other adjusts the thigh support. Lumbar adjustment is on the side of the backrest.

I probably maxed it out then :/

I've noticed that on Nissans site the height of all trims seems to be the same 51.8. You would think the Performance and Nismo should've been 51.5 and 51, thanks to sportier suspension tuning as they go up but I guess Nissan wanted ground clearance to be the same across the board.

Are you asking about factory suspension?

Factory suspension is not ride hight adjustable.
