What do you guys think of these? They seem to get pretty good reviews over on the silvia forums...

Will they fit in an R33?

They get good reviews? Really?

Don't bother. BCs are better and cheaper.

Apparently the rears aren't long enough for the R33 anyways

Thanks tho

Have you actually tried both? What didn't you like about the HSD? I've driven on and had alot of different suspension in my cars over the years and I would have to say the HSD HR's I had in my 32 were the best sub $2000 coilovers ever, much much better than BC's and I've driven a few different cars with BC's as well as a 32. I find the BC's to be a very bouncy ride especially in lighter cars, that’s with the BR's anyway which is what I presume you are speaking about as you said they are cheaper. I haven't had any experience with the comparatively priced ER's though, so they may be better but they are the same price. Those aren't the standard tops though, unless they are an option? They look like factory tops, the standard ones that come with the HSD's is a pillow ball type.

+1 for HSD HR's.

Got them in my 32. Have 8/6 but will go stiffer when they eventually break.

I have had HSD's HR's on my 32 for years now.

Love them!

I had to go down a couple of KG's in spring rating in the rear to stop the arse comming out so easily. But other than that, love them.

No problems, no leaking, nothing.

Only down side is you cannot independently adjust bump and rebound rates. You get what you pay for I suppose.

+1 HSD

I have a set in my 32 and the adjustability is really good too, just things like the height adjustment doesn't compress the spring, which on some coilovers it does, usure of BCs though.
