im using hks hyper-d's.they are pretty good at the track.on the street they are a bit harsh though.

the only problem with the jap valve rate is the harshness of the aust roads.on a daily driven car they need a rebuild at least 1 time every 8months on my 33.not so much the rears but more so the fronts.

craig.

HI I HAVE TIEN COILOVERS IN MY R33 SEDAN AND THE CAR IS AMZING WITH HANDLING AND SLIDING BUT VERY ROUGH ON THE ROAD IM NOT SURE HOW YOU GO WITH THE FINE LINE OF PERFORMANCE AND COMFORT CAUSE ALL SKYLINES I HAVE BEEN IN WITH GOOD COIL OVERS ARE VERY ROUGH!

Super Streets for good ride but shit for track use .. Im getting type S greddy coils.. Hks hypermax good all round but harsh on roads HKS are generally harsher than most supposedly

How often should coils be rebuilt? ill have to send mine to japan i think?

Hi mate,

Cheers

Your looking about $2000 im gettin them cheaper .. I think in australia autobarn actually sells them via order however modyourcar.com also does..

Super streets retail for $2000 for oz spec .. but from nengun.com (overseas ordered into australia) they cost about $1100 posted .. pretty impressive discount

[R32_dori]

wondering bout the isc coilovers price wise

eeek dont bother.... stick with bilstein, greddy or tein.

on another note we have just secured a deal for DRIFT performance products, their coil-overs will be made on the same line as TOP SECRET and TRIAL but branded DRIFT.... RRP 1700ish

Thanks for that link trust33 .. very helpful ..

Just on the note of coils mine are drift spec and I imagine for daily driving ill get the shits in no time with 8kg front and 6rear which is a little heavy but Ill only learn by driving it ..

My mate recommended 5 front and 4 rear .. how much would a new set of springs cost? $500+? do I need greddy ones or will any do? and would anyone recommend i drop the rates?

8 and 6 will be fine for street use provided the dampers are decent, i run the greddy coil overs in my cars and have the same rates in the S13 it is actually a very good rate damper combo.

Sweet cheers... 4.6cm tube or some shit.. its a mono tube so i assume it would be good

Trent: Could we have a little more info on the DRFT coilovers? If I'm not mistaken Top Secret get Aragosta to make their shocks, which are the Swedish Ohlins right? Does this mean we will be able to buy Sweedish Ohlins for $1700!?

yeah it's a never ending problem of a compromise. still much better than stock at track. if i hate them when i get them i'll sell em as there's heaps of demand.

where's this discount and how do i get it?! or were you just quoting approx price

because i see AU $ 1,437.77 for hcr32 ... and AU $ 1,369.86 for ecr33 delivered prices.

haha you have a keen eye, and hence my enthusiasm towards getting them here. some more pics of the aragosta's.... as for ohlins......

[Ronin 09]

Aragosta is not made by Ohlins.

[Beer Baron]

lol @ aragosta being sweedish ohlins. this may come as shock news but so called 'sweedish' ohlins are called ohlins. some may find that hard to believe but trust me on this.

aragosta are ok shocks but they have nothing to do with ohlins.

[Ronin 09]

you know what are nice shocks - Quantum....
