Suspension upgrades issues?

[Go2ZZZ]

So, I just finished installing the following:

Z1front and rear sway bars (with endlinks)
Z1 toe arms
Z1 forged upper control arms
Z1 rear diff brace
Z1 rear subframe
Z1 collars

I expected better handling etc…
However, on my way home I felt the car to be pretty sketchy. Any small pot hole I feel it pulls me one way or another. It is a bit rainy night too.

I honestly felt more safe to go faster then when I put these “upgrades” on.

albeit, I haven’t gotten an alignment yet. Hope this fixes it cause when I got for my fast pulls I felt safe. I’m not sure I can do it with this suspension set up.

Is this normal? Cause I’m not feeling confident

Take some time getting the upgrades broken in and a feel for ? Seems like u did a really big upgrade taking most stock suspension parts out. The alignment would also be an addition

we’re about to find out as I’m going to do the alignment today. If I feel like it’s done nothing I’ll probably put my oem suspension back on. But hoping the alignment works

Just got back. Alignment was definitely an issue. Attached the report.

so far it’s better but haven’t really pushed it or went over any small bumps/potholes

I have a 2024 Z Performance, is the NISMO suspension upgrade worth it? I understand about needing alignment.

I'm curious about the Nismo suspension as well. Waiting for some reviews of it

Nismo suspension parts are currently being retooled. I would wait for the updated versions or go with another brand like Z1. I personally have most if not all the Z1 catalog and couldn't be happier. The R-Pro coilovers are true type and use FEAL struts and Swift springs.

Indications are that Nissan didn't do well with at least some of the Nismo suspension parts for the RZ34. Z1 on the other hand has a pretty highly-regarded track record

Great, thanks. I'll wait. No track days for me: i'm 79.

It was definitely alignment. Anytime you install suspension parts, alignment IS required. Toe is very sensitive at each corner, slight positive at rear stabilizes the car, make sure that's set. Better yet do a corner balance with you or your weight on the driver's seat and full tank of gas.

Hope all is fixed for you, those current measurements look good and Z1 upgrades are pretty high quality.

Wow. That was definitely the alignment. You shouldn't have any mistrust in those Nismo suspension parts as they are made by SPL. The majority of your problems was the rear toe!!
