My R33 is 350 ctr of wheel to guard pretty much all round. This is using A'PEXi hard tune down springs (3.6kg/mm front 3.4kg/mm rear) with Sydneykid's bilstein shocks on the standard settings. Must say ride is perfect for my liking even though I didnt use the whiteline springs that was recommended with his package.

I wouldnt want to go any lower with my Nismo bar though, so im quite happy with the height.

Rear sits lower just the way the guards are cut. Look at a VN Commodore. Rear can have a ride height 50-60mm lower than the front. Measure the sil panels and it will probably have a fairly level height. Just my 2cents.

mt front lip sits 50mm off the ground, has koni adjustables all round

50mm off the ground? that is rediculous.

mines about ~115mm off the ground, 350mm front centre to guard, 340 rear centre to guard.

running HA teins

i dont know what kind of suspension i have. how the hell do i tell? there's nothing written on it, that i can see.

also, i know coil overs are coil over shock, but isnt standard R33 coil over shock aswell?

hmmm, preeeez exprain.

anyways, mine sits at about 335 front, 340 rear.

from bumper is about 105mm off the ground.

Raed this Monkeyb0y Coilover FAQ

Yes it is :happy:

i know, it's obvious, but why do people ask me if i'm running coilovers?

duh'

i'm not running leaf springs, am i? lol

in my first post, i said i dont know what i have, as in which brand. i guess unless there's a big f**k sticker on there, you'd have to pull them out to find out.

It's just a difference in interpretation. Most people consider coilovers to be an off the shelf/direct bolt in arrangement that have a threaded shock section and can be height adjusted with a "C" spanner.

In actual fact it generally just means the coil spring is fitted "over" the shock absorber.

I guess Technically they should be called:

Coil Overs

Height Adjustable Coil Overs

Damper Adjustable Coilovers

Or both.

i think my front lip is round 90mm-100mm clearance, no idea what centre or wheel to arch is? mine sits on full adjustable TEIN HA's, any lower than it sits now an its just damn annoying, can't go in driveways, through drive through etc....I can bearly do it now at the height it is.

King Springs use centre of rim to guard measurements to rate there springs, just rim em up an state you want 355mm front an 345mm rear, they'll have something pretty close, give you the part number, then just go into your local repco tell em the part numbers an order em :(

rear is usually set lower to increase the amount of weight balance that sits over the rear wheels it increases traction and makes the car handle a little more neutral then the standard front-heavy. and when breaking for a corner usually saves you a bit of understeer.
