Help Identifying Suspension, Is This Stock Setup? R33 Gts-t

[awhiteone]

Hi all,

Can someone tell me if this looks like stock suspension setup on my R33 GTS-t?

They look to be adjustable items and I can't quite find a brand name on them one of the stickers has "project" but I can't qiute see the rest of it.

Do they come with adjustable as stock?

It handles really well, which I'm happy with it's just a little soft and tends to bounce a bit too much after bumps, like the damper rate is too soft.

I was wondering if I can adjust this by changing the spring position?

From the looks of it, the springs are setup so that the ride height is at maximum.

Any idea what I would need to adjust this? I"m guessing some kind of special tool, which I'm hoping will be easier to identify if I can work out which brand they are (if it's not stock.)

Would dropping the springs down the strut tower change the spring rate at all?

Or would I need to look into the dampers, I can't see anywhere to adjust dampers (like nothing at the top of the strut tower under the bonnet, so I'm guessing it's not adjustable.)

Appreciate any help and suggestions!

That is not stock suspension.

If they are damper adjustable you can adjust that to stiffen up the ride.

You need special spanner to adjust the height - They do look adjustable.

Lowering wont stiffen the ride, you'll need new springs.

they seem to be JIC

Thanks guys. They do look like JIC actually now I see a picture, colours of the springs and locknuts matchup too. Was just hard to browse the available ones and guess!

Looks like dampers are adjustable by turning either a knob at the top or a ring at the bottom, so I should be able to stiffen up the dampers and try to get rid of some of that bounce.

One thing I do notice though is that if I hit a dip in the road (such as tractor marks 90 degrees across the road, then I get a good metallic clunk noise like as if it was bottoming out, but doing this on the down travel.

I took it to a mechanic today and he reckons that's pretty normal for a sports suspension setup since it has steel plates instead of bushings? Does this sound right? Seems odd that it only does it on one side.

Anyone else using this setup and get the same?

In case you wernt sure I also notice you have adjustable upper control arm bushes, you can adjust camber with these by loosening the nut and turning the bolt clockwise.

Thanks, I wasn't sure what that was for either. I don't think I'll be playing with that for a while though. :-)
