Im thinking of getting coilovers for a R34 25Gt 1998, specifically from BC coilovers. However they offer coilovers with 3 bolts on the top or 2 bolts. Inside the engine bay the front suspension mount is 2 bolts. Just wondering if anyone knew if the rear suspesnsion setup is 2 or 3 bolts on the top of the suspension bracket. 

In my experience the kit they list for your car will have the right number of bolts... plenty of people run BCs and have never seen a  "coilover has 3 bolts but my car only has 2 holes" thread

Are you going off the photo in the listing? They use generic photos as taking a photo of each kit takes time...

Also, just a word of advice. Before you order, check your rear bottom suspension mounts as you'll need to figure out if you need eyelet or fork type.

well you could always go and have a look at your own car....but pretty sure 3 bolts is just for macpherson struts, not A-arm setup.

I just need to remove the back seats to get to the mounting brackets of the rear, and since my r34 is 2door its kinda a tight squeeze to pull the seats out

I think its because some of their kits come with camber adjustability, however since my front suspension mount located in the engine bay its only 2 bolts and therefore I wouldnt be able to ultizie the kits with 3 bolts and camber adjustability. P.s replied to jmknights93 with pictures of the options they have at BC for my car.

It don't matter what other forums say. Get under your car and check it for yourself !!

I assume you're getting confused at the photos used in their listings? They are just generic.

    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal! 
    • You miss spelled bearings...
    • Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p
    • Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
