Good Cheap Lowering options!!!

[J-Flash]

Hey guys,

Can anyone recommend a good cheap lowering option for my R33 GTS-T (1994).

It has been suggested to me to get a set of King Springs and lower it with them.

Not the Super lows' , but just enough to make it look a bit slicker! About 30mm.

I do intend in the future (12 months or so) to get some Tein adjustable suspension, but until the pesos materialises I would like a cheap alternative that won't make the ride to stiff as I drive it 500k's per week!!

Look forward to your responses.

Cheers,

J-Flash.

thats as cheap as it gets mate.....other than choppin ur springs which i hope nobody does anymore:D:D good advice is to shop around for prices and ask if peeps know anyone if u know what i mean. my mate scored a set of brand new kings for $150 on all corners of a mates mate.....and we spent a good couple hrs puttin it in....BARGAIN!!

MR_Fanny,

Did ya lose any smoothness in your ride. Does it hit the bumps any harsher!

I'd rather do nothin' if the difference is significant.

Thanks for ya comments. Ya couldn't get me a set at thta price could ya! wink wink nudge nudge.LOL

At all cost do not chop your springs.... Get a proper lowered springs like King Springs you won't regret it.

Get a progressive rate spring, it will stiffen up under heavy load/cornering but is comfy for cruising.

i lowered mine with r33gtr front shocks and springs(bolt straight in)

back shocks were fitted with gtr springs

front is 50mm lower than standard

rear is about 30mm lower than standard

lots of gtr shocks floating around cheap coss everyone fits flashy shocks to them!!!

ride is actually better with these fitted than standard

cheers

just wait until you can afford coil overs lowering springs alone is unlikely to improve your handling at all

how much lower does king springs 'lows' lower a 32 gtst?

if u just install different springs, u end up having to replace your shocks later down the track hey

yeah, better off to put new shocks in at the same time

Not if your doing it yourself IMO. If you were paying someone to do it for you then you are better off getting shorter shocks now rather then paying more later on down the track, doing it yourself is a different story.

it would take a whole day to cut the springs with a hacksaw!!!!

I can go one better...

Meet HOTLNE... a perfect example of what not to do to your car... this mucus coloured R33 sporting vinyls that were bubbled, wrinkled and peeling off, also had a unique modification of NO SPRINGS.

yes the driver had the car sitting on its tyres, and drove around with no springs from the 2003 VIC Glo Show back to whichever rock it crawled out from under.

maybe he liked replacing his tyres all the time
