Tanabe NF for NN35

You may have some issues although nobody could tell me what the difference is between the ARX and RS suspension.

I suspect the BC coilovers I bought may have been for the ARX as the rears were nothing like what I needed, but I never checked, I just modified them.

A friend has just bought an ARX (GOLD LIKE YOURS) and has been speaking to Just Jap as I believe they are having some made that will be available quite soon.

I will try to get some more specific details for you.

Cheers

I was recently speaking to a guy selling BC coilovers on Ebay, runs his business out of New Zealand. Told him of the issues scotty had with them, he made enquiries to BC, apparrently, they have updated the NM35 kit (sept or so) to correct the issues. He was witing for updated parts for his kits at the time. So presumably, any kit ordered now, would be correct.

Hope this helps, Dale

[scotty nm35]

Mmm. Doesn't help me though. Tossers.

I would have been really pissed if I had paid for labor to fit and then remove correctly marked parts that weren't close to fitting.

Be careful which set if you buy for an ARX.

Yes Tanabe NF are adjustible... from -37mm to -78mm front and -38mm to -73mm rear WHEN FITTED TO AN RS, which means that on an ARX, you will be 77mm lower at the front from stock ride height when the Tanabe's are fully wound out!!

Maybe look for Bilstein or Nismo dampers and add a set of springs that are suitable for ARX.

do u think they will fit straight on without any mods

[iamhe77]

Do not know for sure.

I can't imagine that the setup would be any different, but you have to remember that the ARX is 40mm higher from factory than the RS/RX.

Can you trial fit?

They're not technically coil overs on the rear of an M35 as the springs are separate from the shocks. So only the front is true coil over and that's as per standard.

I think most of us are aware of the old "coilover" chestnut.

Given your expertise in the industry, would you happen to have a suspension solution for the original question (also for the RS/RX owners)?

There's a few people (myself included) who would welcome a local solution rather than resorting to importing parts ourselves...

I second that motion local is easiest way

but I'm leaning towards resetting the springs any positive or negative thoughts on this way I've been td that u get the same ride comfort as factory what do u guys think

I had a set of Bilsteins fitted to the ARX but kept the original springs for ride height (wanted to keep the stock look plus find the tailgate is fairly low already). This generally fixed the washy ride but it now crashes over the slightest depression in the road. I guess that the softish stock springs are not matched to the stiff Billsteins.

Currently waiting to get a set of ARX height Pedders springs made thorugh Ben at Northshore. Apparently 30% stiffer springs.

The stiffer springs should also help cornering - perhaps what it will finally need is an adjustable set of sway bars like Andy has done.

the ride with the the Lowered Bilstein springs and sway bars is definatley firmer and can crash over some bumps but mind you with the stock setup the car was leaping over the road through the same pot holes. Also a big factor will be the tires you have on your car. the stiffness of the side wall is noticeable.

I guess for me the real test was from the seat of the pants of my wife. She thinks the ride is very good and has no problem with the stiffness of the set up and she is definable not into performance cars at all.

And best of all,, I love it.

What kind of adjustment to they have? none? Height? Height & damper?

[Angus Smart]

Just height i think. doesnt appear to be any other adjustment on them
