guys wondering whether anyone has used king springs in their r32's? if so wat you think? what sizes/heights have u used...and how low was it? handling etc?

regards,

daniel

Kings make 2 lowering springs, what they call "Low" and "Super Low". Personally I wouldn't recommend the "Super Lows", they are too low and too high in the springs rates. "Lows" are OK, very similar to the Whiteline springs I used in the Group Buy Kits (350 mm front and 340 mm rear, centre of wheel to guard).

If you are thinking of using them with the standard shocks, I strongly suggest you have a read of this thread first.

ok well i got std springs in it now...but the nob that i bought it off cut the springs....so the car sits as follows

front from centre of cap to guard = 360mm

rear from centre of cap to guard = 320 mm

so as u can imagine the car sits a lil front high and rear heavy.

Im happy with the ride...handles well...gets a lil bouncy sum times...but eh

so can sum1 help me here....im just after springs for now...coz i cant afford a full suspension setup till prob another 6 months.

So after reading one of the replies....it looks like Kings spring lows just wont be low enough....

my main aim is to drop the front another 20mm and keep the rear as is....

so would king spring Superlows do it? or do SL's in the back and L's in the front...

any suggestions?

I put slightly trimmed super low king springs on my 33's standard shocks, ended up popping all the seals and leaking fluid. Shocks were sent to the tip and replaced with hks hypermax II coilovers :-)

      I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
