Emotion Coilovers... Anyone Know Anything About Them?

[RSFOURDayz]

Hey.. Just looking up coilovers, i'll probably go with the BC BR's for my R34 GTT but just wondering if anyone has heard anything about these Emotion coilovers - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/EMOTION-SUSPENSION-COILOVER-DAMPER-KIT-F-R-NISSAN-SKYLINE-R34-GTT-1998-2001-/120940699640?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c28a09ff8#ht_1310wt_922

Cheaper by $125 so i know i'd be best to go with the tried n true BC's but just thought i'd ask.... Mainly want coilovers to lower my car a few inches and also stiffen the suspension up for street use and the occasional track day. Cheers.

I'd been searching coilovers as I've just stuffed my rear ones in the GTT, could get them rebuilt but I think I'll just go to the BCs... The link shows they are from a warehouse type place which means tech support or warranty if anything goes wrong is probably limited, also doesn't mention if they are able to be rebuilt etc..... I would suggest sticking with the tried and tested product

You guys going the BR's or V1's?

[34GeeTeeTee]

BR mate..... A few that have them said they are worth the extra $150 up from the entry level...... They are only $1299 delivered from what i can find, unless you've seen any cheaper?

[34GeeTeeTee]

Hey Chris,

Email Street to Track, for the BC BR coilovers they are $1165 delivered which is cheaper than any i have found in Aus

Hope that helps you!

Yep, BR's mate. You'd be crazy to get the V1's for the sake of $100.

And that price that Matt found, that's crazy stuff!

Yep was about to order at $1299 and then did a last minute google which led me to a Scooby forum and then onto Pauls website! SCORE!

Did you have other coilovers in the car prior? For a comparison? I've been running Teins and I was told they are similar.....

[Hadouken]

Ive ran coilovers in other cars, the gtr was upgraded from good old stock vspec suspension. And ill tell you on half dampening stiffness, these BC BR's are more comfortable.

I was also in my mates 32 with teins and far out they were stiff as f**k

Mine aren't too stiff, it's just the rears that shat themselves.... Really looking forward to these now.... Is there a recommended dampner setting? I read some are stiffer in the fronts?

[RSFOURDayz]

How do you work out what spring height adjustments before you install them, or is it a matter or adjusting them in the car?

You won't regret it man, the BC's have a really good range of dampner. On full soft they are really comfortable, bit stiffer than the old King springs that used to be on mine. On full hard they are rock solid, but not as hard as the Tein's wound all the way up.

I was told when setting mine up to have the dampner at the front a little bit harder, to compensate for the weight of the engine. So I usually have my fronts on about 22, rears on 15. I soften them up a bit when I go to the track.

How do you work out what spring height adjustments before you install them, or is it a matter or adjusting them in the car?

The way I did it was I had a basic idea of how much further I wanted to lower it when I installed them, then I set them to the same height as my old springs and then lowered them by how much I wanted. That was with everything out of the car. Then when I lowered it later I did it on the car. Takes about an hour or so to do on the car, so it's no big deal. Just getting all four corners the same can be a bit tedious.

Will be going GAB SS, because i'm getting them at 920aud, so will try that. could be a viable option too. If you've got friends in malaysia.

Thanks Martin

And as for the GAB, are they rebuild able, have warranty and got local support?
