Help Please With Suspension

[daleb4u]

Hey guys,

I have an R33 GTS-T 95 with adustable suspension and I assume dapness adjustments .

How do I raise the suspension ?? and adujst the dapness. the car is curently high from the back and realy stiff yet very low and bouncy at the front.

The suspension is Bear Racing (or somthing like that) . My mate told me I need to have C spaners!!! where can I get my hands on a set of these spaners and how do I go about adusting them?

your help would be very much apprecieated, I did do a few searches and found a couple of results however I dont know if its the same process for all coilovers. I also took it to my local suspension place who looked like he had no clue what he was doing and failed to fix the problem after 1 hour of working on the car.

Thanks guys

Where abouts are you located? There should be a competent workshop nearby.

You need some C spanners...

Have a look at the top of the dampers to see whether there are any adjusters for them. It should be a small slot which you turn with a screw driver.

You may still find that the spring rates are high & that no amount of adjusting the ride height & damping will help.

I'm in Bankstown and Campbeltown. do you know of any around those areas?

I tried to turn it with a screw driver however it just keeps on turning , also if no amount of adjusting would help then why would the front be diffrent than the back ? should it be the same spring rate ? ?

May help if you can post a photo of the top of the damper.

The front & rear spring rates should be different, with the front stiffer than the back. What I was trying to say was that it is not uncommon for Japanese suspension to have very high spring rates which aren't particularly suited to our dodgy roads. If you have such stiff suspension then adjusting the height and/or the dampening probably won't make it ride as well as you would like.

Having said that, if there is a big difference front to rear then either the dampers are adjusted very differently (ie one end soft, the other hard) or you have some busted/worn dampers.
