Sydneykids Bilstein Kit Or Tein Super Streets For My Street R32?

[Rolls]

Im going to be upgrading my ruined standard shocks + kingsprings (worse combination ever, aweful compared to standard)

Now I was considering getting the bilstein sydney kid recommends in his old group buy along with springs and the sway bars, or I was considering tein super street coilovers with 225lb (4kg) springs all around.

What setup is going to be better for a daily driven R32 skyline that will see the track every few months.

It has some serious power ~240rwkw so I need something that will squat a little and hookup but also that isn't sloppy like the standard springs nor so stiff the rear end just skates all over the road.

What setup do you guys think will handle better for my situation? I am looking at spending around the $1000 mark and not much more, both of these kits are around this price, the teins being about $900 and the bilstein combo roughly $1200.

Thanks in advance. = )

Teins are soooo silky for daily driving, a necessity for daily driving on crappy Sydney roads... I am yet to use them on any track, so have them on the softest setting and they are without exageration smoother on the road than my mates M3. Probably not the best for handling, but that might change with the harder settings.

They don't lower that much either if that is a priority.

I have also had HKS Pro Performer which are smooth, handle well, but unreliable, and GReddy Type S - awesome compromise!

Not sure how you going to get a bilstein setup for $1k

I got mine from ERD which is around the $1400 mark. Same setup as sydneykid's (but progressive kingsprings instead of linear whiteline springs)

Email ERD and ask them what would suit you.

Yeah bilstein setup is looking more like $1400 for the lot including camber kit, sway bars etc however after talking to a few people I am convinced it is the better setup.

I am going to go for a drive in a car with the sydneykid setup in it and compare it to my mates teins. It is a daily driver so I would prefer a soft setup with rollbars to counter the roll instead of stiff springs.

[Rekin]

you are better off with the bilstein setup. Its designed for australian roads and its nice to drive on roads. Once you load up the springs by pushing the car, the springs stiffen up and you get some awesome handling.

In the end, shocks/springs only make up one bit of the suspension. Swaybars do a lot in terms of handling.

Mine arnt......I would definatly go the bilsteins over the tiens any day.

the high speed damping in the Tiens is crap...way to crashy over cats eyes etc and they are too soft in the front spring rate for track work imo.

btw this is for a 33 gtst

I havent driven a 32 with them so I cant comment on that

I've got Gary's bilsteins in both my stagea and 32 gtr race car. Excellent mono shock damper, way better than anything else in the up to 1500 price range. Obviously there are better shocks again in the $4k+ range.

Hey boys. Went for a spin in an R32 with the sydney kid setup tonight, was a very very nice ride, surprised by how soft and cruisy it felt over bumps and on the street. The turn in and handling was very impressive as well, would have to say it definitely rivals the teins and with a better ride.

Now I have run into an issue, the part numbers for the bilstein shocks and the dampening rates are not to be found anywhere in the old group buy thread, and it appears sydney kid is no longer active on these forums. Would anyone here know these values or where I could find them out? Same goes for the spring rates etc, I can most likely get these fairly quickly but if I have anyone here to double check them with that would be tops.

Would very much appreciate it.

Cheers guys

That makes it easier, what is his name, Gary?

[Tuffzilla]

So by the sounds of Gary's Bilsteins kit had the up on the super streets but what about Teins newer Street Advance's?
