Stagea Coilovers? Quick Info Please

[toxic]

hey all.. im new.

i bought surfstagea's car yesterday and am looking for some info already...

ive been offered some coilovers for my car but they dont look right.

the front and rear are meant to have the (O) shape at the bottom?

the ones ive been shown have the (O) at the bottom of the front and a upside down U shape at the bottom of the other two...?

are these to suit the stagea?

everything i search for seems to come up with dead ends

thanks in advance

Ash (another happy stagea owner)

p.s. looking forward to chilling around on here a lot more

ok mate the rear shocks u mention with the fork ends (u shape) are for a gtr, or a stagea 260rs which has the gtr rear end, so they wont fit a normal stagea. u need the gts-t style o holes and they will fit front and back, though the weight difference in the stagea wont be very suited to gts-t shocks.

hope it helps

I believe these will fit the Stagea.... after having my mags put on Friday, I had a good look at the suspn, and Im sure these would do the trick.

hey mate those will not fit a stagea rs four. front end no problem, rears have the fork style ends and the stagea rs four have the o shaped holes. unless u put gtr rear hubs/brakes/diff/ custom length axles on like mine they wont fit.

gtr = fork end rears

gts-t = o ring rears

stagea rs four = o ring rears

stagea 260rs = fork end rears

just to clear things up abit

cheers

Nope, the fronts are eye (O if you prefer) same as the rear. I have NEVER seen a Skyline R32/33/34 or Stagea with a fork front shock.

Front shock

Rear shock

cheers

PS; all of this info is in the Stagea Suspension thread, which is a sticky at the top of the Stagea page.
