I'm going to take a guess and say it's in an R33 GTS-T???

Obviously with a 33 GTST listed in his side bar, having joind only months ago and only 12 posts, it's doesn't take a genius to make the assumption it is an R33, GTST that the guy is working on.

Now, 500rwkw out of a 25 is a seriously big number, good luck on that front. What are you going to be doing with it, track, drag, drift or boy racer street posing?

So you don't own multiple cars, and then not display them in the side bar? Settle down mate, I'm only making sure before offering assistance...

If you are building it for drag racing, stock suspension is a good idea. Hardening up the suspension is detrimental in drag racing.

I agree! So many times people are talking about a different car to the one they have listed in the side bar. I think it is a very reasonable question. If you are asking for help the first thing is to provide as much info as possible so people can provide the best answer.

If I assume overall performance means street/drag strip and a bit of fun on a track I would recommend you to buy that suspension above! I have it too and its fantastic! Cost me a lot more than that as well.

Then get some adjustable sway bars and adjust them depending on what you are using it for.

Track = Sway Bars hard as possible

Street = Sway Bars somewhere in the middle

Drag Strip = Rear sway bar as soft as possible or put the stock rear one back on.

You don't need a swaybar for a drag application. The bar works to alter the lateral transfer of weight during cornering - it does nothing while the car is essentially moving in a straight line.

Yep should have said just take it off.

Come set-up on of my race cars with the Track= Sway bars hard as possible method, lay out a few laps and then ill show you how a "softer" properly done car can be atleast 3 seconds a lap faster.

Actually I tend to agree with the previous comment of just softening it off. In high horsepower applications, the car will try and rotate due to the dynamic weight transfer. Having some bar in there will stop this from happening, but then again, so will revised springs and shocks.... Meh. take it off
