M35 Aftermarket Suspension

[impul535w]

Hi Guys.

Read this entire thread but no one had answered the question yet so so... just wondering if anyone has fitted any type of coilovers to an M35 with HICAS, mine is currently on the water but is a HICAS model and I did read a while back that there maybe an issue with clearance... any one here actually have a HICAS model with coilovers?

Cheers

yes all ARX models have HICAS, also LSD models on some RSs to

is yours an RS with HICAS? lucky for you it has an LSD too

anyway, the suspension bolts up the same, its the tray for the spring that steers the wheels

12kg's are fine for the front.....12kg's are a too hard for the rear imo.....but then again I'm try to get a lot more power to the ground than stock.....I'm running 9.3kg's in the rear atm and it's very snappy in the wet........12's in the rear would be a little bumpy as well.

In between 8-10kg's would be fine in the rear....if you want to play around with it more get a good adjustable rear sway bar.

Hey Jetreck, what suspension are you running if you don't have BC's?

I'm running BC's and mine has Hicas and an LSD...

No issues at all. The hicas only deflects the subframe a few degrees, so I can't see any problems.

So it is possible then...

How would you rate the stiffness and ride height range compared to standard ARX?

It's a 250T RS Four V

Unsure about LSD :S

if it has HICAS it has an LSD

who was asking about the height of my car at low setting?

This is the BCs setting out of the box

[Sunkist]

those are 18s arnt they ?

they are the standard ARX rims

[AgeYo!]

Might go 12front and 10 rear wouldn't mind racing kents later on but I dont mind stiff as I still need better fitment!

Just got pedders springs all round at then moment rides like poo! You can buy them once I get coilsezzzzz

[zei20l]

they are the standard ARX rims

yes they are. they are also for sale too if anyone wants a cheap upgrade with a factory rim!

offset is perfect for RS/RX models

[ironpaw]

What's the offset? +35?

I think a good fitment needs to be +30 minimum....

[zei20l]

no idea. shipping to melb would be more than i want to organise anyway lol

pickup only in sydney

LOL never said I was gonna buy em...

just curious about the "perfect fitment" thing...

[zei20l]

ohh right.

do a search then lol

Yeh, I used to have a set on mine too. They're not ideal. 20mm spacers would help a lot.

I now have these; V35 18x8, +30 offset. Much better
