I am looking for a set of CHEAP coil overs for my R32 GTR

1st option is to buy 2nd hand reconditioned HKS. They have just been rebuilt by the guys from Sock Absorber Reconditioning @ Slacks Creek here in Brisbane – but I have herd mixed reports about the 'quality' of their work – comments

2nd option is to look at something like the HD Systems coil overs from Unique Auto Sports – anyone used these fro street use only – what are they like PLEASE

3rd option is to go for something like kings over koni – but I will not have adjustable ride height

any advice welcome

I used Bilsteins with extra circlip grooves to adjust the heights. Picture follows;

Check out the full thread in the Stagea section. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=53079

I used the standard Stagea springs, but if I would choose Whiteline springs to go with the Bilsteins.

:(

I have seen this b4 - but how difficult is it to change the hight tho ?

where did  you get your  Bilsteins ?

I measured up the height I wanted before I put them in. For example our Stagea was 390 mm (centre of wheel to guard) at the front, I wanted 370 mm. So I set the circlips such that the bottom Bilstein spring seats were 20 mm lower than the standard spring seat. Rears were 375 mm and I wanted 365 mm so lower the springs seats by 10 mm. Simple stuff.

If you want to continually change the heights, then threaded sleaves are a better solution. I have those on the Bilsteins in the race R32 GTST, however we change its height quite often. But for the Stagea I got exactly the height I want, so I don't need to waste money on something I am not going to use.

I usually get Bilsteins from Heasmans, the Australian agents.

Hope that helps:cheers:
