Coilovers

[KISIN]

I have a set of coilovers on my car and im thinking about ripping them out and selling them because they are too bumpy for my liking (everyday driving). I have no idea what the spring rates are (they came on the car when i bought it) so who could i see about this. Also does anyone have any idea how much s/hand coilovers go for ? All i know is that they are Kei Office. I can take some pics later on.

Another thing...when u throw it hard in second...the ass ends up in the lane next to me...VERY tail happy so im assuming they are awsome for drifting ?

Any help ?

Thanks !

did u get the adjuster things to change the damper

maybe changing this might make them better

i know my coil overs are very good

hard to say for 2nd hand i paid $760 for R33 GTR coils done 1500km on

Yeh damper can be changed, im just not sure if i want coilovers any more or not. I really like how it GLUES the car to the road in the corners while going for a drive in the hills, and really, they are awesome, nothing wrong with them...but i don't know...at this stage im thinking of building a more comfortable car rather then a race/track car.

i think a mate has nismo coils in his R34 and there more what your looking for got no idea about them cause they were in the car when he got it

what are you doing up at 5:50am Steve? cant sleep?

I need coilovers in my car too, any recommendations?

Tein?

Well I'm in the same boat as Kisin. My car came with Tein HR's which are too harsh for what I use the car for. As such I'm selling mine, and am looking at around $850 as I have a set of C spanners to go with them to adjust the height (spanners go for $50-70 normally).

So Kisin I would suggest starting at around $800 like I am and see if they sell. Most importers ask between 750-950 depending on condition I believe, so Im startin in the middle of that.

chances are the spring rates are way high. As sk says your car is probably skipping over bumps instead of having the shocks absorb them. Thats why yer arse is trying to overtake u.

Fit up a set of Bilstein with matched springs, and u will find better performance with better ride. They are an excellent shock for performance and dont give the rim shattering hit over bumps.

Price of your Kei office ones, depends on a few things - condition, pics (cos we all like piccies) and how much they are worth to you. If u want to get rid of em, dont hold out for a gold bar

madaz thought the champions league final was this morning... its 2moro morning buddy, 4am on SBS! FORZA MILAN!

[andz]

damn scares me off

cant you guys adjust the level of 'hardness/stiffness'? like different mode for track, streets etc?

[Bl4cK32]

your talking about the dampening rate. U cant adjust spring hardness.

[harvesteros]

Any word on the coilovers being for sale KISIN? Im in the market for some second hand ones for my 33 gtst.

Sorry Hotwire looking for someting slightly cheaper than yours.

id swap my standered suspension for ur coilovers....

[Pauly33GTS-t]

hey adam he has a R34GTT i dont think hell want the 33gtst stock suspension.

adam, quick tip make sure whatever coilovers you buy are rebuildable, as second hand ones may be close to stuffed in alot of cases (not saying that KISIN has stuffed ones, they sound awesome.).

Will the 34 gtt coilovers fit a 33 ?

Im still not a 100% sure i want to let go of them

Any good places in adelaide that i can go speak to about this (suspension) ?

[kralster]

damping has nothing to do with how hard the ride is. Thats all spring rates.

I'd just get a decent spring/shock setup and be done with it.

[Madaz]

KISIN go speak to Steve from Manta Racing Services he may be of some help,

Andy if your there on sat. i will show you the differences the damper can make
