gtr fronts fit stageas yes, gtr rears dont fit unless its a series 2 manual from the factory. gts-t rears fit but they are not designed for a wagon and wouldnt be very suitable.

[yokotas13]

so what coilover setup would be suitable?

the whole shock spring setup most of you run will not be quite enough for my application.

IS there a certain reason why GTST rears arent suitable?

[CruiseLiner]

sydneykid bilstein/whiteline coilovers and they are bloody stiff and mine is sooo stiff its actually annoying for a daily driver (lucky its only a weekend thrasher), its got nooo body roll what so ever, i recommend them 110% for any sort of track work.

[yokotas13]

do you happen to know what the spring rates are?

Im shooting for a 14/12k setup

[yokotas13]

oh and i dont think that spring shock combo will go quite as low as i need to be. I had to modify my coilover lower brackets to go as low as i needed.

Hopefully to have the stagea on stock body about 3-4 inches fromt eh ground.

[CruiseLiner]

yes lowering is an issue, ive got mine with about 100mm of clearance from chassis to the ground and exhuast is about 60mm from the floor, i can go lower at the rear but not the front as the strut bottoms hit the control arms i have circlip grooves down to 300mm from wheel centre to gaurd but with the lowering issue i can only goto around 315mm.

sydneykid will know the spring rates etc for the setup he sells.

which is why i wanted to go with coilovers

i know how to make big wheels fit small spaces

plans are to put 18s, slam it and drift it, like i did with my 180.

Ponly problem is flaring the rear fenders to fit the single digit or negative offsets i want to.

But unless i have a manual stagea from the factory (wihch obviously i dont)

I need GTR front GTST rear.

I have a set of Gab wagon coilovers which is so low at the moment that I scrape on a speck of dust on the road, they are also hard/soft adjustable as well as height.

Couldnt tell you what model, unless you know where to find it on the coilovers themselfs?

[darrinspencer]

Since you are Japan you have a heaps of options

There are heaps on Yahoo auctions suitable for the Stagea and drift

Tein make several different sets

I have Tein Wagon's which have 4kg Front and Rear, but they also have Tein HR which are approx 10/8kg F/R

[yokotas13]

ive already got a company lined up, i was just getting contradictory information

My suspension sponsor from my 180 is hooking me up with cost on another set

i was just making sure on what models to get with the front nad rear

[4DoorWhore]

S14 coilovers with R33 Uppers.... *cough tanaka cough*

[yokotas13]

tanaka wont do it scotty

but a guy back home is a distributor for the same shit that was on my 180

and he can get 20mm shorter front shocks and custom springrates with the shocks valved to match. for an ass kickcing price

[4DoorWhore]

what do you mean he wont do it... i just went over there the other day, and it actually came up. well he is kinda choosey like that... oh well... good luck with that...

but it can be done... why not just buy a set of S14 CO's, R33 Uppers and go at it... oh well...

[yokotas13]

why dont you go up there with me, they didnt quite understand what i was trying to do.....maybe you can help me out?

i need something that is shorter than this

from bottom of tophat to bottom of the shock (out of lower bracket) is 33 cm

with the lower bracket it is 36 cm

i need like a 30-32 cm shock possibly shorter

[jasevr4]

a big bump on this one

scotty, when you say r33 "uppers", do you mean just the tops that mount to the chassis?

is it as easy as buying s14 coilovers all round, and swapping the tops to r33? the tops are just threaded on, correct?

[yokotas13]

14 tops work too

any of the nissan tops that match bolt number should work

except odd balls liek z cars

[jasevr4]

so if the s14 tops work too, wouldn't the whole s14 unit work?

front and rears we are talking about here too...

[yokotas13]

rears will work

but dampning will be weird

front wont becuase of the lower bracket

its not the same
