Where Is Sydneykid?

[Tave-33]

Hi

I was firstly wondering if anyone knew how to get into contact with Sydneykid appart from PMs, as I want to buy his R33 GTST group buy but he hasnt responded to any of my 11 PMs over the last 1.5 months. If no one knows how else I cant get a hold of him I want to know what coliovers I should look at buying, as so many ppl say Jap ones are to stiff, im not sure what else I should look at. I was looking at Cusco Zero 2E's or Teins but not sure what to get now.

I use my car as a daily driver but I would still like a reasonably good set up for track days, my budget is between $2000-3000.

Any help would b great

Cheers

Having driven a few cars now with Teins, i cant see how anyone can write them off. You can say what you want about them technically being good, bad etc. Fact is they deliver good results and at a simple tweak of a knob you can some adjustment in the drivability.

I used to have Bilsteins and Whiteline springs and i found them to be quite good and gave me years of reliable service. Build quality is exceptional. I have been running Teins for a bit and they are an improvement over the off the shelf Whiteline bits i was running.

So, if you can wait for the Group Buy, then wait...plenty of people have been happy with their purchase. If you cant wait then grab some Aussie Super Streets. I think for the money they are the best shock you can get.

But whichever way you go, dont just read and buy based on ppls thoughts. Post up in your states section, find out when the next meet/function is and go for a few rides in cars with suspension setups you are considering. There have been ppl not happy with the Whiteline stuff, some dont like the Teins etc. Its all very, very , VERY subjective.

i have to second this.. the bilstien packages are great however the tein aus spec super streets are bloody awesome and i highly reccomend them

email dan at ERD for a price.. he offers a similar bilstien kit with the option of tein super streets drop him a line at [email protected] much much better service than SK

Thanks for both of your replys, i'll definatly keep my eye out for a Vic event that I can get to, and hopefully see what a few different set ups feel like on a track.

Has anyone had, or been in a car with standard Bilsteins, as in ones that arent revalved or set up by SK as I wouldnt mind finding out if these would suit my needs? I know I could buy the PSS9's but I think their going to be way to expensive for what i'll be doing with my car, but I dont know if the B6 sport would b good enough if I start going to a fair few track days. I wouldnt mind having the adjustability of coilovers with height and rebound adjustment but I know once I have it set up properly I will prob just leave it, so im just not sure weather to go for a decent strut and spring setup or Just go for the fully adjustable option now?

Keep an eye out for the Vic monthly dinner at Bells Hotel in South Melbourne. I think its the 3rd Tuesday of every month. Plenty of cars running the Bilsteins and Teins etc etc. I think you will find that you will like the Teins Superstreets. The two cars i have been in with them were great, and there was an R32 GTR that used to run them in QLD, (Giant) and the cr was out of this world quick on them before it went for shocks worth about 15k....so good on the street and hell capable on the track.

If i hadnt of gotten my Teins RAs i know i woudl go the Super Street

Anyone know what is the actual spring rates of the Tein Super Street for Australia or Japan Spec? Im from Malaysia and the one sold in our local distributor is coming from Japan. Now im running R-Tunes Nismo coilvers for my GTT, my other option is to swap the current springs to SWIFT spring (lower rates) which seem to have good reviews.

Appreciate for some feedback.
