KTS rear coilovers for R33 GTS-T

I've upgraded the coilovers on my R33 so I no longer need these rears.

So, its a pair of rear coilovers made by KTS in Japan and since bringing the car to Australia I swapped out the springs to make it a little more suited to the pothole spec roads we have here.

The springs are therefore changed from 7 down to 5kg/mm which is still firm and sporty but not bone jarring like they were before. Also I have changed the bottom mounts out to polyurethane ones from Driftworks in the UK to eliminate any uncertainty in the softer rubber mounts.

Pick up east side of Melbourne,

$150

Hey mate im interested in these... I don't have coilovers at the moment, would putting these in the rear for the time being and finding a pair for the fronts work ok/ be better then stock ?

is miss-matching coils okay if I find another pair later on? 

 

Honestly the handling would probably feel a bit off as the front would be soft and the rear, in comparison, firm. So you would probably get oversteer tendances. You could fit them, for sure and match the height to the stock fronts if you wanted to. If you have aftermarket springs/shocks now then they would be firmer already, so fitting these shouldn't upset things so much...

Also, I don't see  anything wrong with mismatched coilovers, as long as they complement each other and/or are set up so it works.

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
