Just bought BC BR Racing coilovers.... but something doesn't look right. Hopefully it's just my ignorance but there's no bracket on the side? Like in the picture on the website?

This picture + attached one etc.

They're for my r33 GTS-T...

On the box it says 96-98 GTS (obviously meaning models between 96-98); but do the GTS's have different suspension to the GTST's?

The top of the front spring also looks identical to the rear one ... nothing there apart from the damper setting... I'm confused :/

edit: I just noticed the sprint rates are 10/8 also, instead of the 8/6

the coilovers in the picture are not for r33. they are probably just the generic image they use.

r33 coilovers will have eyelet at the bottom for mounting, not a bracket. they also only have 2 bolts at the top, not 3.

the camber adjustment in the pic above doesnt apply to r33 either. the fronts will look like the rears. round, with 2 bolts, and damper adjust in the centre.

edit: below is the general shape and type that suits r33. of course yours are a different model, etc. but will still look similar in style.

yeah the pic you are using is an incorrect reference.

What you have got is the right coilovers. UNless the spring rate of 10/8 is for the ones you ahve as opposed to the pic. 10/8 is going to be pretty damn hard. 8/6 is the way to go unless you are tracking it.

Iv got them for my R33 GTST n are the same ones as your pic (and iv got the 8/6)

Goodbit of kit for the street. N esp for the money...

    • Interesting, I've heard complete opposite on my end. Bit of a lottery I guess.
    • Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
