Lowering Springs, My Options

[Adz2332]

People will disagree with me but ive found if your not a dick and the ass isnt scraping on the ground your ok....

[Ben C34]

Its just that you specifically bought the car to not get defected and mentioned defects in this thread.

So why not coilovers?

[Adz2332]

Hahah true. But i had coilovers on my old series 2 r33 and it wasnt to low but saw the coilovers and yer defected.

[Ben C34]

So now you are going to try too low but no coilovers and see what happens?

?

[Adz2332]

Well not to low no. I dont want ass on the ground. Just something nicer then the 4x4 suspension i have now. As seen by my first pics.

Ive always had slightly lower cars with springs n never had a problem

How would that compare to the legal minimum?

From what I have seen with stageas you basically can't lower them at all and be legal in SA.

Canberra is good for this. I was at roughly 360mm with adj coils and passed at the government motor registry inspection.

If you're 100% on just springs I'd check out the lovells like got a pulsar suggested, sounded like a good match for stock shocks. Stiff springs with soft shocks will always give you problems.

Might as well get Sydneykid's Bilstein setup with slots so you can adjust height. Since you're going to spend $1k anyway.

This man does not talk with a forked tongue apart from a $1000 buck for bilsteins.

OH can someone please explain to me why so many Skyline owners say they do or don't want "Coil Overs". Coil "f**king" Overs are standard on all out cars.

Cheers

Hahaha I meant, with springs + new dampers, he'll spend over $1k. So might as well throw a few hundred more dollars into it and get awesome suspension.

Honestly this may sound stupid but, i dont want awesome / need awesome suspension. the car is simply to wander to and from work with. just dont want it sitting like a 4x4. i have a track car with a decent setup for that

[niZmO_Man]

I rather have working dampers though, so if you're going to spend ~$1k on lowering your spring... see my previous reply.

Put new KYB dampers in and chop two coils off your springs. Cheap cheap.

I'm happy to supply pics of my former black BNR34.

Tanabe progressive springs were used on standard gtr suspension. There was a 22mm drop. Ride was firm but not at all uncomfortable. There was virtually no tramlining. Camber was not noticeably put out.
