Make sure all the fittings and (if needed) spacers and adjusting knobs come with.

I just bought some HKS coils for a GTS-t and it looks like i need to buy a fitting kit with some spacers so the base of the shock clears the control arm (i think).....

"car is a a r32 gts-4 that has been converted to a gts-t"

I take it that means it is 2wd and all of the 4wd components have been removed. Hence it is 160 kgs or so lighter, all over the front wheels. That means the engine subframe, lower control arms and radius rods have also been changed to R32GTST parts.

If that is the case then you need R32GTST components

Rather than coil overs, try the Group Buy, it's a far superior solution

I have reloaded the link and it works for me. If it doesn't work for you this time have a look in the Group Buys section its about 5 or 6 from the top.

You have to talk to the guy who did the conversion. You need to know what he did about the front (engine) subframe, did he leave it GTS4 or change to a GTST one? Otherwise you are going to have all sorts of issues with camber and caster caused by the location of the subframe and the radius rods (they are also different between GTS4 ad GTST). Plus what uprights he used, GTS4 or GTST?

the only problem is i have no history on the car what so ever, the car originally started out as a non-turbo auto gts-4, an now its a manual rear wheel drive turob(weird i know who ever did the conversion should of just bought a gts-t) but yes the converson has been done properly so the subframe has been changed an hicas has be removed.
