wondering if anyone can help me with my dilemma.

my rh front suspension is rogered on my 32, sits 15mm lower than the left. dunno whats caused it, no local suspension shop wants to touch it.

plus its a good excuse to spend money on my car :devil:

i use the car as a daily, was just wondering what everyone thinks whether i should go for coilovers or just change to a bilstein setup. i eventually would like to get into track work a little more. should i bite the bullet and get coilovers, or will bilsteins or the like do for the track?

HSD HR 1600 or there abouts and p1ss easy to install.

been in my 32 sedan for a while now and i love them.

Be prepared to replace bushes and such after a while as stiffer suspension puts more stress on other components.

yeah bushes would be the next step, especially if i dont go with coilovers.

i can get them cheap thru work so thats not a hassle. :devil:

Hey mate,

The question is what is causing it to be 15mm crooked? Which side is low, and is it front and rear?

Have we (WA SUSPENSIONS) had a look at it?

If you want track type work, then coilovers are the way to go for adjustments etc.

i personally think the springs have been cut, they guy i bought it from liked to cut corners and im still going through the car fixing stuff. and correct me if im wrong, but ive been told that cut springs can loose tension, or something along those lines.

its just front right, everything else appears to be ok. no you guys havent had a look. did speak to you last week bout a price on teins tho.

If only the front right is low, and the back is level, when you level the front, the back may go out.

Cutting springs is a bad idea for many reasons....and yes it could easily cause the car to be crooked.

Happy to take a look at it if you like.

You dont have to go coilovers. Im sure we can find a package/setup to suit your needs and budget.

Cheers

    • Also did some work to the shed and a massive clean out of stuff. It's now got a small fab/dirty room and has helped keep shed cleaner. Built some new work benches and re organised things also got a TV out there so good having something playing while working on the cars. Got a pedestal drill and linisher off a mate that need to pick up too.  
    • First thought, have your current injectors flow tested. If they test fine, keep the diagnostics going. It's not the injectors. If the injectors are the issue, find some new or used (cleaned and flow tested) injectors.  While I really love a good excuse to get a modern ECU installed, just needing new injectors probably isn't a good enough reason to do so. 
    • A bit from column A, B and C. Mainly C   Update time, after deciding it was time to tick off a bucket list goal I finished up full time at MSR and have gotten back behind the wheel and making progress on the S15. Goal has been to drive Bathurst at an event and I have had my entry accepted for Challenge Bathurst in November. Since I don't want to go unprepared I need it running to test and get comfortable.  Been chipping away at it and started by stripping inside, getting it all cleaned and sealing some holes up. With stripping inside I removed the whole wiring loom and found a few surprises.......... its pretty butchered and shit branching and I'm not a fan of the haltech fuse boxes so it's all out and trying to come up with a plan to rewire it all either new fuse/relay box or pdm.  I haven't been happy with how I did the intercooler mounting and been wanting to tuck it up under rad support. O e issue with that is headlights will need a decent trim or get replacement covers. Took the time to mount it with some stand off's and new hardware. Stands are some m8 button bolts, washer, aluminium tube and factory radiator top mount rubbers. It's nice and solid also stiffens rad support which still requires some trimming. Bonus of factory rad mounting is used all factory hoses just need to weld a pressure cap to radiator now. Got sensor block and fuel filter mounted. Plan today is to get vac lines all sorted with push in nylon tube and design oil cooler mounting solution.  Been driving BRZ a heap and went out to Morgan Park for time attack and went pretty well for a wet day. https://youtu.be/gAlQgcQpWj4?si=kojOAOjhhX_X3AXR Getting pretty comfortable in it now and want to do a few more bits to it but restraining myself as don't need 2 race cars at the moment.   
    • @sunsetR33 There is obviously a huge culture gap here. There is nothing in place like this in Australia, where if you fit a Mines branded pipe and later replace it with a Jun branded pipe, both pipes are essentially identical - BAM - huge penalties! Where is the Mines pipe?? You can't have a Jun pipe when you said you had a Mines pipe!  Makes no sense to me. Surely makes no sense to anyone else here either.  I'm sure a lot of us would agree that our registration/engineering system is pretty stupid at times, but it's not that stupid.  *** More serious question here. If you replace a factory rubber hose with a silicone hose, is the car illegally on the road now? Does it become legal if you have certification of what brand the silicone hose is? Then would it become illegal again if you replaced that silicone hose with a difference brand of silicone hose? And then would it become legal again if you had certification of the new brand of silicone hose?  I really want to know that answer to that question. 
    • Good you making progress with this rig. Aluminium welding is painful to learn, have you got a pedal as I found it so much easier with one. If that's the AMG I think it is, you would working with Benny?
