Superlow Springs For R32 Gts-t

yer well i just ordered superlows yesterday and the guy in the shop said that they will be fine on my stock shocks as long as i drive it smoothely or sumshit(wierd) any ways i ordered them so if that happens i suck.

true about coilovers being pricey, but you can still get street ridable coilovers (they arent just for track) all depends on the spring rate/tube design

say you spend 300 on springs (if you can find king springs), + the labour to fit them might take it up somewhere around 600-700 (not sure on what sydney prices are for labour) then once your struts have a blow out & the other associated problems that go along with it, then replace your struts & fix those associated problems.. you're up near the 1000-1500 mark (labour inclusive)

to give you an idea - i was quoted 1200-1300 for king springs (30mm) & new struts fitted, for something that would have been a medioca ride, the same place suggested a set of coilovers they would do for 1600-1700 fitted - this is on a 4 door R33, basically told them i wanted the ride as comfortable as possible while still being able to drop the car and not have it bottom out over every shit peice of road up here in brisbane

nah pedders said they would do a 30mm drop for my r32 with springs provided and fitted for $350.

how is this?

just chase up some 2nd hand coilovers.. i got some cusco ones from a half cut, and rear ones from the same car but a rear half cut.

cost $500 for all 4 and they were like brand new.

what are you talking about??

you get MUCH better handling if your lower your car, springs or coilovers... you got a GTR but u got the intellect of a honda ricer. Oh, and about the smashed up shocks? Yeh, maybe in 20 years my shocks will go

Well cheers for that. In return for your nice words i have dug up that link about what happens to shocks. CLICK THIS. The pictures are missing so use your imagination. A warning tho, if you do make the effort to educate yourself you'll find it harder to shoot your mouth off, noobie style.

FYI I've spent a fair bit of my time on suspension setup;

- swapped out my TOO LOW old fixed height 10/8.5kg rate teins for adjustables which i RAISED to IMPROVE the handling, with 8.2/6.4kgs rate, corner weighted and aligned, zero toe, 2deg. neg camber front, 1.25 rear. The springs are probably still too stiff.

- noltec upper control arms

- adjustable radius rod bushes

- two sets of adjustable rear control arm bushes

- whiteline adjustable front and rear sway bars

- tomei hicas lock kit

- whiteline pineapples

The real question is, what's the main reason you want "superlow" springs? To make your car handle better? Or to look like a complete wank while you're being defected for 70mm clearance?

If it were the former, I dare say this thread would have a topic reading more like "Coilovers for R32 GTS-T - any recommendations?"
