How good is the stock springs and shocks on an R33 GTST

[morlock]

Hi guys,

I was just wondering how good the stock springs and shocks were for an R33 GTST series 1.

Will they be ok for track days etc.

Cheers

Shocks wear out , how many K's has the car done?

I've just upgraded my shocks with whiteline works kit.... great improvement, comfy over bumps and potholes, with less bodyroll.... when car went to oversteer, the counter lock doesn't throw you around like std shocks, car just straighten back up nicely.

Morlock,,,if your standard shocks are in good condition you won't have a problem with track days. I would sugest you lower the car though. I'm still running standard shocks with Whiteline lowering springs and between track days I have change to adjustable sway bars. I'm a slow poke,,,not willing to push the car to hard and I do 2.05 to 2.07's at Eastern Creek,,,but last time I got Rod Markland to drive it and he went sub 58's with out even knowing the car.

kidd,,,I don't mean to be rude,,,but do you actually know what you are talking about. A track car needs to be a bit on the soft side,,,remember we are talking street cars running on street legal tyres.
