Gtr And Gts4 Suspension

[krush]

hey all, ive got a gts4 which seems the suspension has gotten quite sloppy over the last year. all stock stuff im guessing as it was never great and defo not coil overs or anything. theres a fella on here selling some stock gtr springs/shocks which he says is in good condition which im hoping to purchase this weekend.

now ive read how itll fit from the suspension layout, but im wondering the type of specs the gtr would have over the gts4? after searching and reading a lot, i only really worked out that a higher spring rate is stiffer, and too stiff is bad for the road, as my car is a daily driver.

if the gtr stuff going to be stiffer? lower? better in general?

i guess anything would be better then my sloppy stuff at the moment..

cheers, shaun.

The GTR suspension should be fine in your GTS-4 mate. I've got some GTR coilovers to replace my old worn out Nismo ones and they're not stiff at all. Should be alright as a daily. They're not lower either.

How much you paying for your GTR suspension? Just to give you an idea of how much they're worth, I bought the whole set (4 GTR coilovers) for $150. They were in good condition.

Make sure that the rear shock lower mount is the ame as what you have.

I've heard of gts4's with gtst style rear shock mounts... haven't seen evidence though..

I am in the act of taking a set of gtr suspension out of mine. Seemed ok for a daily, not rough or anything.

Threw on a set of kings lows springs, don't match well with the gtr shock rate, will bottom out easily and not control the bound / rebound very well (on the fronts, the backs don't have any damping left at all, just bounce). Going for koni adjustables as I quite like the spring height and rate. Also doing adjustable castor bushes, both front tie rod ends, and pineapples. Should be lots nicer to drive.

thanks for the responses guys. adam, yeh the price is a bit lower then yours. im under the impression most gtr guys take them out to put in new stuff and have noone but us gts4 guys to hand me down to im just after some not so shagged suspension to replace my sloppy stuff. im not much of a boy racer, just dont like being throw about on bumpy roads

and ive never heard that that heller. good luck with the koni's though
