Lowering A R34

[1R34SON]

Im getting my rims this week and lowering my 34 is a must, how much i want to lower depends on what they look like with the tyres but maybe people with experience can help me out. My rims are 19x9.5 at the rear( cant remember what tyres were exactly, will i need to roll the guards? I know coilovers are better choice but are springs ok? Anybody recommend places in W.A? What should I pay and are they easy enough to install myself?

Sorry for soo many questions but saves me asking straight after lol Cheers!

Depends what offset they are for both your spring/coilover question and rolling guard question. 9.5 should fit though with the right offset. Im getting 9.5 on my r32 with just lowered springs and ive had to roll my guards. Ive had 10's on the back before that sat flush with the guards preventing me from lowereing. Im on stockers at the moment.

If ur budget concience and dont wanna spend the $$ on coilovers, check out Sydneykids suspension packages. Cant beat it bang for buck. Check out the FS section. Doing just the springs is no good for factory shocks, u will eventually need to replace em.

You will find that if you lower the car more the 340/350mm front/rear (from centre of wheel to guard) you will greatly increase tyre wear and greatly reduce handling. You have been warned!

As above, check out the SK groupbuy, goes like a zirtek!

Yeah as above, measure your height from center of the wheel to the guards...350 to 340mm is probably the optimum height without sacrificing handling and tyre wear.

Make sure you get a good wheel allignment after fitting ur suspension. 9.5s on the rears are fine with offsets between +35 to +40
