Coilovers

[Fabs_32]

Looking to buy a new set of coil overs for my 32 gtst coz my rear ones have shite themselves.

What's everyone's opinion on brands????

[typevu]

TEIN

[Ryanrb25]

Tien or Zeal seem to be really good! My Tien HR's have a harsh ride but keep it really flat.

majority of the jap coilovers are great.

JIS sell brand new JIC coilovers for $1500 a set.

Bilstein if you're rich

[Madaz]

TEIN are gay spec for Australian conditions

Bilstein if you can afford it

im running ISC and even there a little stiff buy you can choose your spring rate and mine are clearly wrong

[vinnie32GTS4]

Bilstein if you're rich

or ohlins

[Fabs_32]

How rich we talkin?

[Madaz]

2.5k for bottom of there range or if you have a nice 4k go see Steve Manta of Manta racing a Bilstein stockist

[SLED]

Bilstein approx $2500 is the cheapest I've seen..........and that's only shocks & springs, you have to use the top hats and rubbers from your stock coilovers.

I've heard they can retail for anything up to $4000

Get a set of Tein HA's iv got a set on my r33 and it handles like a dream just a bit harsh on the ars

[Sambo33]

i have bilsteins combined with whiteline springs and swaybars. i think its a top all round street setup.

i used to have tanabe pro coil-overs, they were way too solid for these roads.

[bezender]

+1 on the TEIN HR's

harsh as... but i like my car to corner like a house fly

[Madaz]

being too stiff will actually slo you down in the hills perfect for the most very flat race track but who takes there car on the ultimate flat track

[Fabs_32]

But it it worth spending that much for bilstein? Or would the tein's be good enough. It'll be only be used as a weekender and for the occasional track day.

[Fabs_32]

But cant u just adjust the dampness if it's too stiff?

[SLED]

here, try this:

Heasmans have them on special for 33 & 34 GTR's at the moment for $2200....cheapest I've ever seen.

They may have some for a 32 as well.

I have a set of TEIN HA's For Sale cheap but I don't think they'll fit yours.

[Madaz]

go speak to Ryan from ISC support local traders and being SAU he WILL look after you

this is my opinion

TEIN = commodore springs

Bilstein = Ferrari springs

very crude but you get the point

[Inline 6]

my tiens dont feel harsh but i have it up at legal height.

[Madaz]

well im going by what ive heard from alot of people is TEIN is too harsh they must also come in different spring rates too

but Pete has been a passenger in my car and didn't think the ride was as harsh as his GTR

[SLED]

correct
