Its not just Nissan. Look at any BMW, Mercedes, Honda, Toyota, etc. Its a common practice by foreign car companies to raise the front of their cars for the US market. I read somewhere that it is because Americans like to see their cars level rather than sloping forward, but who knows

, but its really weird that they do it. Mercedes use to put the thickest spring pads on their cars especially on the front for the US market
