Super Comfy Gtr Suspension

[Faarooq]

Hi Guys, I am looking to do something a little bit different with my R33 GTR and change the suspension to be extremely comfortable since I drive on some of the crappiest roads QLD has to offer. It currently has Bilstein shocks and lowered king springs and 18x10 rims. This setup has been pretty good but the dash just rattles away on the bad roads and the car bounces around a fair bit.

Does anyone know if it is even possible to get a suspension setup on a GTR that is as comfortable as say a Mazda 3 or BMW M3 or any of the modern European sports cars, yet still retain decent handling? Or does the rigid chassis and other factors make this impossible or unfeasible?

If so, does anyone know any good suspension specialists in the Brisbane area? (Not too keen on Pedders or Fulcrum)

Thanks

Why not have a chat to Fulcrum Suspension? They have the Tein super Street and may be able to soften the spring rate a little.

Yeah I will speak to Fulcrum to see what they say.

I wouldn't mind this Electromagnetic Bose suspension that is not yet released :

Maybe try dropping back to a 17" rim, which will introduce some ride comfort via sidewall flex.

The Mazda is not a performance car, so will not have performance car suspension. The BMW, while a sort of performance car, is still fitted with family-car-comfort suspension.

If you want a comfy ride, get a Falcodore or something. If you want a performance car, put up with performance car ride and comfort.

Yeah you'll find a smaller rim with more sidewall will help take off some of the edge on the bumps....

If you know someone with stock GTR suspension maybe you should go for a ride in that and see what you think....
