NISMO=better?

I did a lot of searching around and it seems that no matter what the application (suspension,strut bars, shift ****, bolt-ons...) everyone seems to reccommend NISMO. I was just wondering if that was because they are all JDM crazy, or if the parts are really worth their hefty price. I was thinking of getting a full NISMO suspension, but didn't know if it was worth it.

no there are other companies that are juss as good as nimso if not better. people only say Nismo becuz oOOOoo Nismo represents Nissan as TRD and Toyota or Mugen..well not Mugen anymore for Honda but you get the idea. Nismo wheels are worth the price

Yeah, I under stand it "represents" Nissan, but I don't know if I want to start saving up and spend $1000 on a suspension set-up when I can wait 2 more months and get the Tein's that I want with EDFC.And the same thing for stut bars....lol

thanx for the help.

There is 3 I want to tell u about Nismo parts :

1.Quality
2.Performance
3.Design

I have Nismo parts on my car most of them accesories ,but I also got their Nismo Type-S suspension setup on my car and this 3 things I just mentioned in the first sentence above are purely true,of course price is a little on the high but trust me u get for what u pay,I will gladly give anybody here a ride so can js proved ,even though I dont need too but some ppl think that Nismo is really not worth to buy ,well some parts are not better than some aftermarket but I bet they are on par at least with some of the best companies,plus when u get a Nismo part ppl know thats is guarantee u got something of good quality,viva Nissan Motorsport

like alot of others said, people immidiately say Nismo, cause they think Nissan + Nismo = Greatness, they are good ill give them that, but they are what id like to call last chance shopping, cant find anything else, Nismo will be there, though their accesories are really top notch from what ive seen.

heh. nothing like "tough love"

But anyway, what is Section? I did a search on it, but obviously it was very broad, and all I ended up was stuff like "look at this NISMO skyline front fender SECTION"

Any help appreciated
