Hello everyone! Introduction and help request

Hi All, hope you are well!

Just getting back into the car scene, have been out of it for quite some time due to family commitments! Previously owned a BNR32, BCNR33 and BNR34.

After getting permission from the missus I am now back in the RB world, got myself a S2 Stagea 260RS. Fun cars, feels like a sport car until you look to the back.

Quick question for you guys, I have already bought myself some MCA coilovers with 10kg (F) and 5kg (R) as it will be my daily with a odd spirited driving (if i get the chance). Is there any other upgrades you would suggest? As mentioned, I have been so out of the car scene and feel kind of lost with all these new techs.

Also, sounds like I have a whining diff, what do you recommend? What is out there for the Stagea? What is interchangeable between the skyline and stagea? 

Thank you so much!

Hello - welcome to the Stagea world - have a read through this Stagea section - there is a wealth of knowledge to be had).

No you don't have a sports car but a heavy wagon so rear springs need to be stronger than the front. 260 RS has GTR running gear so most stuff is interchangeable between GTR and 260Rs.

Thanks for that, bugger the boys at MCA highly recommend those spring rates.

Noted, will have a look around - been reading through the suspension section as well!

Best value suspension mod is heavier (particularly rear) anti roll bars.

My suspension (for comparison) a set of Nismo branded Bilsteins with Tein springs:
