GTSBoy Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Bilstein B6 + low Kings Springs. Proper dampers at reasonable price >> cheap coilovers or not so cheap coilovers.

blind_elk Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 This forum has been around for over 11 years. Before that, we were on SkylinesDownUnder. How come, in all that time, not one member has ever asked about suspension for a 32 GT-R?

james32gtr Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Just thought I'd start a new one instead of scrolling through and not getting the answers. So I'm guessing Bilstein is a big favourite! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/435073-what-suspension-to-buy-32gtr/#findComment-7110313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 TT Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I have some DMS 50mm for $2k if you're interested mate. S/h of course but more like $4k new.

Duncan Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I'm very happy with my Bilstein setups (race car and stagea), both were specifically setup for the purpose by a suspension engineer with good skyline experience. If you come across any of the Sydneykid revolved Bilsteins for road use grab them. Having said that, the DMS that Matt posted above are the bargain of the century, so if you have $2k grab them now. They are an excellent setup, particularly for tarmac rally but would also be suitable either as is, or with minor revalving for road use. Also fully supported and rebuildable in Aus. Unless you need to go cheap, stay away from the bottom of the market, they are almost always poor quality twin tube shocks and very hard springs. Yes you can lower your car and get hectic stance bro, but you will hurt your handling in most cases, not improve it. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/435073-what-suspension-to-buy-32gtr/#findComment-7111093 Share on other sites More sharing options...

niZmO_Man Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 My old Ohlins/Eibach combo is much better for the street than the old TEINs I have. The Eibach springs are soft compared to the TEINs. If you're after numbers, I would run around 4-5kg springs for the street max. Note that Nismo S-tune suspension have F:5.5 R:4.5 kg/mm springs. Standard are around F:3 R:3.5 kg/mm from memory. In saying that, if you're after cheap, HSD ones are pretty decent (from what I've heard and read). Local support and you can change springs (check out otomoto).

james32gtr Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Yeah I had a look at the nismo-s tune, might get them. And if you think there worth it I'll give them a go!

djr81 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Bilstiens pss9 So Bilstein now make PSS-9's for 32 GTR's? Not that they are any good anyway. I'm very happy with my Bilstein setups (race car and stagea), both were specifically setup for the purpose by a suspension engineer with good skyline experience. If you come across any of the Sydneykid revolved Bilsteins for road use grab them. Having said that, the DMS that Matt posted above are the bargain of the century, so if you have $2k grab them now.

Yes you can lower your car and get hectic stance bro, but you will hurt your handling in most cases, not improve it. Duncan out of interest what are the differences between the Bilsteins from Gary and the ones you would normally buy? Other than the extra circlip rings. But yes the fixed Bilsteins are good shocks.

GTSBoy Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 He revalved them to (really well) suit the springs in the package. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/435073-what-suspension-to-buy-32gtr/#findComment-7111846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
