200sx S15 Bilstein, Whiteline, Eibach & Noltec Suspension

[Sydneykid]

Just a quick question! How come the kit doesn't include a rear strut brace?

Regards,

Albert

Hi Albert, the rear strut braces are pretty inneffectual as the rear upper control arms and traction rods attach to the subframe, not to the chassis. Front strut braces are a good idea as the front upper control arms attach to the chassis, hence a strut brace heps to retain the wheel alignment settings. I have only included items in the kit that I consider necessary.

You can fit a rear strut brace once you have done everything else, but it's not good value for money.

I've sorta found some strut tops.. so hopefully i'll be buying the road kit soon... just one quick question though, what is the height like? I mean, i'm assuming it's not adjustable at all, so how will it sit in terms of height compared to a stock suspension with the whiteline springs?

Ride height is around 30 mm lower than standard. You can get another 15 mm with the low profile front strut top. Then use the extra circlip grooves on the rear Bilsteins to lower the rear a similar amount. That's about as low as you want to go for good handling and ride comfort.

bump.. your PM box is full too

Hi guys, my inbox is filling up faster than I can respond to the PM’s. I usually get 30 to 40 PM’s a day. With the current delay in delivery, that has increased to 40 to 50 per day and I just can’t keep up with that sort of volume. Particularly as some of the more technical PM’s take 10 to 15 minutes each to reply to and my available time has decreased dramatically for reasons which will become obvious shortly.

I feel that I need to “broadcast” a Group Buy update until I can clear the backlog of PM’s. Here is the current situation;

1. A little back ground first. As you may be aware Redranger and Whiteline merged a couple of months ago. The first step was a merger of Sales, Marketing and Distribution functions and Whiteline’s Minto premises were simply not large enough to accommodate this. So the premises adjacent to Redranger at Somersby were acquired and that was utilised for the larger, merged entity. Some people have taken this as a sign that Redranger “took over” Whiteline, when that is in fact not the case, it is a true merger.

The Whiteline manufacturing premises at Minto remain. More news on that shortly.

2. How this affects the Group Buys. Many of the products that I specified for the Group Buy Kits are unique, it is what makes the kits “work” better than any other Skyline suspension update. This uniqueness has been possible because of my knowledge of the systems within Whiteline (plus Bilstein, of course). The Redranger merger has disrupted that system and the “unique” (to the Group Buy) parts have not been flowing through as they had previously.

3. The good news. I have been working 14 hours a day, every day, for the last week, including yesterday (Saturday) helping to clear that backlog of orders. As a result, all of the Group Buy orders should be delivered this week. At this point I can’t tell you what day your individual order will be delivered. But as they flow through the system I will inform you of the con note numbers as soon as they are issued (the normal system).

In conclusion, I know you probably don’t care about the reasons, you just want your stuff and that is totally understandable. But I felt I had to give some background and let you know that I am working on clearing the backlog (personally as it happens) so that we can return to our previous prompt responses. Please hang off on the PM’s, I promise you that I haven’t skipped off to Brazil with your money. That your stuff will be delivered very shortly.

Cheers

Thank you Gary~

Anyway, I just realised that since I'm going for the eibach/bilstein coilovers, how did the whiteline cause the delay? Which part of this coilover is made from Whiteline parts?

Delayed a little, I have been too busy to chase up prices from the recalcitrant supplier.

Why were Bilstein helper springs used instead of Eibach?

Edited May 31, 2007 by eron

[morph.]

very interested....

do these come with a warrnty if so how long and whats the procedure?

say when the time comes to get new shocks can our local bilstein supplier refit new shocks at the right valve rates or do we need to send it back to u etc?

finally is there sitll a bottle neck with whiteline or has that all been sorted out?
