R34 Coil Over

[MaccaD2191]

So I'm new here, and I can imagine its been covered before on this forum. But I can't find a straight forward answer.

The rear suspension in my R34 25GT has gone, and I can easily replace it for roughly $600, but I wanted to put adjustable coil overs in eventually any way, so that is what I'll be doing.

I was going to put Pedders Sports Ryder eXtreme XA Coil Over Suspension into it, But the bloke at Pedders seems to think they will fit onto the rears no problems, but might not fit onto the front for some reason.

Also he is doing a really crap job at getting back to me with an answer, which is why I'm asking here.

Now, I can buy a full set of these for $1520, what I want to know is, will these fit onto my car? (year is 1999 in case that makes a difference) Or is there a better product I can put on there in the same price range? (Can't spend anymore than $1600)

I know I can put on normal suspension for cheaper and it might be better quality, but I'll be putting on a body kit and new rims in less then a year (hopefully) and I don't want to have to change the springs again when this happens, which is a good reason why I want them to be adjustable.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance

Rears come in 2 sorts. Eye or fork lower mounts. Fronts are the same for all R33's & R34's regardless of variant. Tbh I would be going somewhere else and probably getting something a bit better than pedders. Entry level teins, Silk roads etc.

[MaccaD2191]

Apparently I must have eye lower mounts, I'm not using my car for any sort of drift/racing so they don't have to be the best,

How much would it cost for tiens or silk roads? And are they adjustable coil overs?

I don't know much about cars in general so sorry if I sound like an idiot haha

[MaccaD2191]

Okay, so I've looked over a couple of other forums posts, and I've narrowed down my search for my price range.

These are what I've come up with

The last two are the same product I'm pretty sure. Its just that one is a fork type and the other is an eyelet type. I think the 1999 25GT has an eyelet type (If someone could clarify on that it would be great)

Could someone please tell me which of these would be the better one to buy? As I really want my car back on the road ASAP!

Thanks

Get the BCs, great value for money coilover. As for what type of bottom you need just look under your car and youll see

[MaccaD2191]

Cheers mate, and the fronts are the same for all? I don't want to buy them and find out that they don't fit haha

[pistol-pete]

yes fronts are all the same. fork type rear is for hicas equipped cars i believe

[MaccaD2191]

I just had a quick look at the bottom of the suspension on my car, they have the eyelet connection on both front and back.. Which doesnt look like whats in the picture of this

that pic is just a generic one (has macpherson front struts)

[MaccaD2191]

These are for the gtt version though, will they be alright for my 25GT n/a? Edited August 26, 2012 by MaccaD2191

[pistol-pete]

afaik yes. if in doubt call just jap and ask before you order them

[MaccaD2191]

Yeah I reckon I'll give them a call, thanks so much for your help!

ive got bc br's in my 34gtt and would recommend them, the box i got mine in had r34 gt on it but it never hurts to double check before you part ways with your money

Running BC BR's on my NA, going well so far.

R34 NA will have same sussy all round as R33 GTST.

[34GeeTeeTee]

I ordered BC BR's for my R34, haven't fit them yet but they get awesome reviews from everyone!!

I put bcs in my 33 the other week. Seems to be going ok at the moment.

Get them from street to track. They'll be about $150 cheaper than justjap.

Exactly what i did

I got tein SS's on my na 34. Amazing around corners and for everyday driving, as well as track driving.

[34GeeTeeTee]

I've got Tein SS on my 34 now, the rears got noisy and collapsed, this is why i am trying the BC's

Why don't you get Fulcrum Suspensions in Queensland to rebuild them? TEINs are much better than BCs
