Suspension For A Street R34 Gtt

[SKiT_R31]

Hey all,

I recently put some Tein S Tech springs (http://www.tein.com/products/s_tech.html) into my otherwise standard R34 GTT Sedan (apart from 175kW atw with nistune on 10psi EBC), simply for aesthetics as it sat waay too high.

The lower 46mm in the front and 35mm in the back, the car sits nice and level and looks respectable (almost what it should look like standard imo).

OK, problems;

Almost straight away it was obvious that the shocks weren’t up to it, felt like riding with choppies (you could feel the spring, but apart from no double bounce you couldn’t really feel any shock absorption, if that makes sense).

So if anyone can recommend a good shock absorber to suit, something firm but comfortable (but the car is a daily, I have another car for track) and where i can get it that would be fantastic.

Next is rear camber, its quite visibly obvious that they are way out, and it has definitely having more issues with traction. On top of that the rear bounces and clunks on traction loss (and i can replicate the banging by just popping the cutch without throttle in gear, is it bushes??). I know i need some sort of rear camber adjustment, but is that all, or could rear toe be out as well?

Next is front, visibly its fine but steering is lacking, lost front end grip - loves to understeer even a sweeping corner at a tame speed.

Idea's?

Just want it perfect for street, I'll be upgrading sway bars too - also not sure which option is ideal...

I'm pretty cluey with engine mechanics, just never cottoned on to suspension apart from the basic's...

Cheers,
