Suspension

[Bl4cK32]

howdy. Just a quick question (or 2). Where have you ppl bought your suspension kits from here in Adelaide?

I wanna get some coilovers for me 32 gtst. I have got some lowered springs on the front now, and wanna keep it that height (I can barely clear those goddam spoonies now as it is with me nismo front)

Also, do you just need coilovers, strutbrace, and a camber kit? I dont wanna be a drifter, just good handlin.

I also got a set of lowered king springs for the front and back when I bought the car. They are too low for me (car was defected b4 with them in). How much could I get 4 em? Does any1 wanna make an offer?

Lastly, what have you bought new or SH? Dunno if I trust buyin SH sh*t...

cheers:run:

If you want a car that handles well on the street i would suggest just getting some good shocks (Bilstein) with some decent springs. The ones you have are proabably good enough as the shocks are platform height adjustable. The money you save from coilovers you can buy adjustable swaybars, caster rods, replace bushes and get the strutbraces.

I have a strutbrace for sale, and wil be making some caster rods in a few weeks if your interested.

Nah, the shocks are worn and leakin oil, so new ones are a must.

What do the castor rods do?

The top bushes on the front have already been replaced. What kind of strut brace is it Clint32?

[Clint32]

I meant get some good shocks i use bilstein and use the springs you have. You can adjust the height with the bilstein shocks and they will be cheaper than s/h coilovers.

Caster rods allow you to alter caster. More caster will imporve turn in, up to a point, but makes steering a bit heavier. There bushers in the rear are important as well, i replace 4 in each side.

I make the strut braces myself, i can email you a pic if your interested.

Hrmm.. I am in desperate need of a new set of shocks.

I can feel her starting to get a little wobbly especially when changing gears between second and third.

If you want some bilsteins, D1 Garage have a set (with springs) second hand - would really recommend castor rods or bushes, a strut brace helps and pineapples if you get axle tramp. Whiteline adjustable sway bars are about 5 hundred a set new fitted (maybe less?) - thats what they cost on my R33 anyways - these are also very good value for money. Lastly get a good wheel alignment, this way you will know if you need camber bushes:)

[Clint32]

Joel first get some shocks, then come and see me reagarding everything else. I can get a price on Bilsteins new but as whiteline only resell them and dont manufacture them and their prices are not that good.

With the power you plan you will want to do the works eventually otherwise the car will move around all over the place. The full whiteline kit is about $500 plus about $150 for fitting, includes caster bushes, rear camber, swaybars.
