Spring Rates

[PranK]

Hey guys,

I am trying to work out the best suspension setup for my GTR so I can try to start laying down some decent times... I have whiteline swaybars, hicas lock kit and rear adjustable arms but now to start thinking about springs and shocks.... I dont know jack about spring rates, whats the going rate? (haha, god i crack myself up!) but seriously, I want something good for street and great for track.

Thanks,

Christian

if you have the whiteline bars, id sugest using the whiteline/bilstien kit., it seems to work quite well with the bilstiens as they use relativly light springs.

im using whiteline swaybars in my gtr and have some jap bilstien kit with 8k and 7k springs and the bars are way to stiff on the track.

so basicly, i you got the stock swaybars ,use a good jap suspension.

if you got aussi swaybars use an aussi suspension kit

Tough ask Christian. For a really trick track setup it's going to be uncomfortable on rough roads, but as you say you want to use the car on track and around town.

Personally I can't go past SK's Bilstein setup with the whiteline gear, especially the bars you have which are the right size to complement the spring and damper rates. I'm yet to get the camber adjusters in but the difference is amazing compared to stock and the overly hard setups I've sampled. If you know what SK does for a living you know he'd be pretty serious about this setup and it's no dud in my opinion.

Sure they are a bit firm in the morning when really cold, to be brutally honest, but only for a couple of kays, and they jiggle a little at under 50kmh but the handling is outstanding all around. There are still improvements to be made, but right now I have the ability to oversteer, understeer and peddle fairly quick at will, even have some fun through my local gorge run without her going off. I'd take it to the track but promised the wife I wouldn't, all the same I'd be certain of posting some very fast times.

Ifv you get down here before the decision to buy feel free to drop in for a spin.
