i've been running BC's for just over a year now and i'm happy with them, i haven't had any issue's. the guys at justjap recommended them to me and said they had a few customers running them in their stagea's and had only good reports about them. from memory the springs are only a bit stiffer than stock, something like 8kg front and 6kg rear. i only have the dampers set to half way and the ride is good. i do a few road trips a year, sometimes with the car fully loaded, and with the exception of a few bumps that would be harsh on any suspension, the ride is comfortable. i've taken the stagea on a couple of twisty mountain runs too and it handled really well.

Thanks Josh i will look into them.

Ok, painful I know for you regulars, however I have skimmed these pages, read other full topics and even searched and I can't seem to find a definitive answer on what springs to use to lower an M35 Axis. Any help would be appreciated.

actually come to think of it, there is a full set of nismo suspension for sale if youre interested

Do tell please?

Also, suspension wise is the ARX different from the axis?

As for coil overs, that would be overkill for me, and if I do that the bug will bite.

should i or shouldnt i?

If they are the ones in the photo they won't fit your car because of the forked ends on the rear unless you have a 260 or one other model I think 2wd manual.

If your suspension is bog standard a heavier rear sway bar will give you the most improvement for your dollar. Then get some second hand Bilsteins retaining your stock springs.

Can someone with BCs tell me if they can be set to standard height? For what I do I really dont want to lower the car...

Easily. I actually think you could set them slightly higher than standard.

I'm just wondering if it would be possible to just get the standard springs in a RS4S "squashed" at a spring manufacturer to lower it? I've had it done before on a couple of my cars (HQ Premier and a VQ Statesman) and it worked fine. I don't go racing around the countryside like a Targa Tasmania driver or anything, I just want it to sit nice. I'm looking to go down 40mm front and 30mm rear. I realize I may need a shorter throw shock to keep the spring captive when going down those numbers. It's just been a cost effective solution in the past (about $40 per spring) and i've not seen anyone talk about it on here at all. Probably because everyone is after super handling. I'm not, I just drive it around but want to look nice while doing it. Some feedback would be great.

Thanks

Ben.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
