define easy ? if you have all the tools and a hoist its a piece of piss . saying that the jack on the drive way is still fairly easy if you take your time and think about things first
Fitting coilovers yourself is achievable but anyone in your drive way if you have some spanners/socket and a jack. You'll easily get the mfitted in an afternoon taking things nice and easy.

Flat ground! and car stands... The only way, and brick behind wheels, front of car then rear of car, put car up on stands (wheels removed) then use a trolley jack to take the weight of the hub, unbolt everything then throw your coilovers in bolt everything back up using locktight then repeat... easily achievable in an afternoon.

just got back from a pedders saftey check

problems found were

- worn link rods $195 fitted

- sum play in the steering rack POA

- front bump stops $192 fitted

- rear bump stops $192 fitted

- rear shocks fail $992 koni fitted

and to get rear sway bar fitted 95$

am i better getting a BC coilovers? are they easy to fit yourself?

any thoughts

Are the bump stops made out of unobtanium?

by the beard of zeus

$992 for 2 rear shocks

get a bc coilover kit in there asep bru!

stockpile all the parts, invest in 4 jack stands and a half decent trolley jack

install it all yourself or with a mate

then limp round for an alignment

(getting bc coilovers means you wont need the really expensive bump stops either)

I suggested going to a good suspension shop -that excludes Peddars by definition!

You can do all that stuff yourself (do you really need a new steering rack?) or better still with some mates (cost of a tray or two).

I prefer Bilsteins to cheap (adjustable?) coilovers but try a drive in a car with the suspension you a looking to buy and make your mind up that way rather than spend money and wish you hadn't.

who has a family and has bc coilovers?

and what does your family think of the ride?

Yep, a missus and a two year old, I was a bit worried when I fitted them. I have them on the softest setting, when fitted, my missus commented that the ride was so much better than before, much less "boaty" The original gear was pretty soggy. My 2yr old regularly falls asleep whilst driving, so I reckon that say enough.

Which ones are you going to order? I was looking on JustJap and saw there are two different one for S2 RS4

BC Racing Coilover Suspension Kit - Nissan Stagea WGNC34 & Stagea RS Four (Auto Only)

V1 Design VS Series - 30 Level Damper Adjustable - $1199

or

BC Racing Coilover Suspension Kit - Nissan Stagea WGNC34 AWD

BR Type RS Series - 30 Level Damper Adjustable - $1299

Can anyone tell me what is the difference between the two?

Taking a more than likely stab in the dark, is the first one for rear wheel drive only?

isn't the manufacturer a seller on here?

if so it'd be best to get them from him

or straight of their website

or ebay (just as cheap i think)

just make sure you say that its an auto awd stagea and you should be fine

I have the BR setup, all I can see that is different is the adjustment collars are a slightly different design, and they're gold, versus red on the VS. I would say the cartridge is the same.

I think on other models, the BR has adjustable pillow ball camber plates as opposed to rubber mounted top plates. This is irrelevant on our vehicles, and a pillowball top mount would be much harsher & more susceptible to wear.

I purchased mine on Ebay from a seller in Unzud for $100 less than Just Jap has as retail, and that was delivered to my door.

the BR type has camber tops. i went for the V1's under recommendation from the seller, they said the BR's are a bit of overkill for the stagea and the V1's would be more than up for the occasional track day.

    • The previous switchover point was 501mv. The stock value is like ~360. They now were idling at about ~880. The thing is, most people get a false lean condition. I am getting false rich conditions. This isn't a quirk of terminology, most cam upgraders get awful fuel economy because the O2's read false lean and add fuel - Mine are attempting to aggressively subtract fuel.
    • So... the whole idea was to upgrade the power of the motor from stock. The motor I bought with the gearbox had 'some' stuff done to it in the past, but it wasn't as well thought out/what I had wanted to do. The stock heads typically are a big restriction on LS's and need porting to unlock quite a lot of power. You can then go a bit silly with aftermarket castings to get more, aftermarket intake manifolds for a little more, and then porting those for more. <- We are here. Nobody in Australia really goes down this path (for some reason). It might* make 3kw or something more than doing things the tried and true path for 10X the cost. So that's probably why - I wouldn't even recommend it to people, the money was and is likely better spent on just CNC'ing the stock heads and putting a 6.3L stroker kit in. I didn't want to go down the 'normal' path and then think: But if I'd just done a bit more - I could have had a slightly better result. I assumed the heads were running out of flow and it always annoyed me - Turns out the previous installer advanced the cam 6 degrees so this is likely why it was coming on earlier and running out of puff earlier than advertised. The body panels were just lack of planning/no information on this anywhere on the internet and the fact they came out different was annoying. From test fitting the guard it appears I could have gotten away with GTR guards only, but I got the bonnet and raisers and everything else as well for a pretty decent package deal.
    • So you had a car that by all accounts drove well and survived track days, and that was looking great after months of being stuck at a paint shop. Some might call that a finished project. But you decided this is not quite right. So now the car does not run anymore. And the engine doesn't fit anymore. And the body parts don't match anymore. But, this is progress somehow. Greg, I think your subconscious does not like you and does not want you to drive this car. (I know I know, this whole escalation was not intended, but man, what a rollercoaster)
    • Yeah, but the narrowband is truly narrowband. So you take it out of the linear zone and it is effectively nonsense. And that linear zone is so literally narrow, that nonsense is not very far away. Unless they are flicking back and forth across the stoich point, for real, under actual control, they can't be trusted for anything except entertainment value.
