Just want to see what everyones preferences are on choosing coilovers, for a budget say $2000.

Car is R34 Gtt, 260rwkw, 80% street use and 20% circuit.

HKS Hypermax II. Height and damp adjustable, from Nengun $2000 EMS delivered.

Sydneykid Bilstein & Whiteline Suspension $2200 for the full kit, you get a lot more than just coilovers but delivery is subject stock.

TEIN - Super Street. Height and damp adjustable, from Nengun $1500 EMS delivered.

Flying Performance TEIN SKYLINE COILOVER SUSPENSION $1899 + $40 P&H (not sure of specs)

Nismo - S Tune - Suspension Kit. Hardness adjustable. $1770 EMS delivered Nengun.

Just Jap G4 Racing Street Spec Coilovers, Spring rate: 13 (F) 8.7 ® Kg/mm 36 way damper & height adjustable. $1299 pickup in Sydney.

Thanks.

Definitely Whiteline/Bilstein groupbuy.

As you said it's not just coilovers and it's everything working together in a suspension system that makes it great, not one single component

Why aren't Commodores fast when you put coilovers in them?

I went with Tein type flex from nengun and adj. whiteline swaybars, sydneykids kit is suposed to work really well but i wanted my car to go lower than the springs that he uses. i like my setup but could be a bit stiff for some ppl

Ive heard the S tune nismos are one of the best around.. Soft yet really good on track.. Ill be buying SS from nengun.. seems to be one of the cheaper alternatives and everyone has reported excellent handling and dampening

I've got the TEIN Type Flex in mine along with a few other bits of suspension goodness... makes the car solid like a rock (feel every ripple on the road) but that's the way I like it.

Handles like it's on rails as well.

The only downside is that your passengers will soon get rather annoyed with the ride quality as they cannot possible pre-empt each time the car "bumps"

oh. and forget the G4s. 13Kg front and 8.7kg rear is INSANE. especially with twin tube dampers that will have no hope in hell of controlling a spring that heavy. I run 10kg front and 8kg rear in a GTR and even with top of the line ohlins with remote gas canisters and seperate bump and rebound adjustment (600 settings per shock) they are still too hard for street or track.

Greddy TYPE S is an obvious omision from that list. Engineered and developed for street and track by Takeshi Tsuchiya GT500 and GT300 fame.

ER34 run 8kg front 6kg rear $1999 retail (aimed as a competitor for TEIN RA (one step above FLEX) for specs)

monotube 46mm pistons variable rate springs etc etc

Looks interesting.

I see from the Tein site that they have replaced the RA model with the "Mono Flex" which spec wise looks similar to the GReddy unit above.

Would be interested to hear some feedback on both of these products.

    • That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.
    • The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).  
    • Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!
    • I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf
    • No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
