thanks n/a for your reply. i really want these shocks. where did you get yours from? were they brand new? if you dont mind me asking, what did you pay for them? oh... does your wife approve of the ride? sounds corny, but i do mean your car.

[N/A®]

Came with the car. Was fitted by HKS Kansaii in Japan. Never had any discussions about the ride actually. How much are you getting em for? On another forum someone is selling it for $1,200. I would get it.

[AtomicBomberMan]

really? can you tell me the link? is it for a 32?

[AtomicBomberMan]

yeah, id seen that post. its for an r33 gtr though. thanks anyway.

[N/A®]

oh didnt realise yours is an R32 GTR. Im sure R32/33 are the same arent they?? only 34 are different.

[AtomicBomberMan]

no, im pretty sure they re different. any idea of what these are worth brand new? oh, and so daily driving is ok for these? and would they be much harder than a spring and damper setup?

[N/A®]

They are very good for daily driving on the softest and hard when u want it for track. My is listed brand new at nearly $6,000.

[hippy]

[hippy]

[Steve]

thanks but I think there are enough of those already:) Besides I work for the govt, so its not really working...lol

[hippy]

hahaha why does everyone who i know that work for goverment say that??

[Steve]

Gotta keep the illusion alive:p

[hippy]

have u guys tried www.ohlins.com??

[amosite]

Those specifc springs look atleast 12K/mm each

[Steve]

how is spring kg rating converted to lbs?

[AtomicBomberMan]

i just found out that the fronts are 12kg/mm and the rears are 8kg/mm does this mean anything to anyone? surely this is going to be a hell of a bumpy ride.

[hippy]

u will find that ohlin shocks are very good!!! not like teins!!!

[AtomicBomberMan]

im quite certain they will be great for track use. i just want to know more about the ride in general for everyday use. do you have a set too hippy? i know i should have bought something else if i wanted comfort. but these came at a fairly good price, considering what they are worth brand new. 270000 yen!
