Help With The Best Choice Of Coilovers For My R32


Recommended Posts

Hey guys johnny here

I just want sum feed back from any one who have used BC ER series coilovers are they any good ?

I have a r32 gts rb25 neo looking to make it a w.e cruiser / possibly daily driver / drag car

Any suggestions for other brands would be great! And prices

Also on my list is a r33 turbo 5 stud conversion, what are the parts that I will require to do this? And how much are they?

Thanks Johnny

All depends on what your budget is man, my daily Crx has J's racing coilovers and they are stiff as fwak, 20kg, 18kg springs. I assume the BC is something like 8kg 6kg? BC are getting quite popular as they are bang for buck, and I haven't seen anyone give bad points about them thus far. They are rebuildable in OZ too. Personally I'd opt for Tein Mono Flex if your budget allows

what's your budget? if you want the "BEST" coil-overs for a R32 you'll be looking at around $8K per corner (around $30-$35,000 for a full set-up). but somehow I don't think that's what you're after. There are good packages at $2,000 and great ones around $4,000-$5,000. and there are plenty of cheap nasty ones too.

My budget is 1,800 - 2,000 so can sum one point me in the right direction. What is my best bet with this price range

And what parts do I need for the r33 det 5 stud conversion

Have a look at silk roads, can get them for about that or less depending on the dollar. I run them and have no problem with them as well as a few other people i know.

If your going to use it as a cruiser/daily/ drag car then coilovers might not be the best solution

for your budget probably the best option is a set of bilstein shocks (with the circlip type height adjustment) and a set of matched springs (eibach most likely). in sydney heasmans would be the place to go and I'm sure they ship to melbourne too.

they are a good set-up for the under $2K mark.

    • Define "Nissan big brakes". You just mean standard R34 4 pots? And...it's not even the offset you need to worry about. It's really a detail of how much clearance there is between the caliper and the back of the spoke/face, which is affected more by the design of the spoke than it is by the offset. If you think about it....take any wheel, say a 19x8 that does fit and clears the caliper. Then add or subtract an inch of wheel on the outside, without changing anything else. You have changed the offset by half an inch, but not changed the clearance situation at all. Same for if you add or subtract an inch from the inside edge. The way for you to work this out is to take a wheel off the car, grab a straight edge and a ruler or two, and start to measure the distances from the wheel mounting face on the hub to the outer face of the caliper, and the outer diameter (that faces the barrel of the wheel) of the caliper. Armed with these dimensions and any other measurement that grabs your fancy while you are there, you can then go to the seller of the wheels and do the reverse measurements from the wheel's mounting face and see if there will be clearance to the caliper. There really should be. I have 17x8 RPF1s +35 clearing the caliper face by a finger tip. Those wheels do have pretty thin spokes with some curvature.... but then so do most wheels to suit Jap cars.
    • So I’ve got a r34 sedan that I managed to get green stickered, meaning I need to go through government approved wof station for my car to be allowed back on the road for some reason my car is certed for 19x8 rims.. I need these wheels  does anyone know what offset will be fine to clear Nissan big brakes? I saw 35et for sale near me, I can’t drive the car to test fit or risk being fined ..   I searched heaps online couldn’t find anywhere..
