I'll be the first to say I no nothing about suspension..... anyhow I am buying this R34 4 Door and have inspected it...... It looks to me like it has been lowered but I have nothing to compare it too! Just wondering if some R34 owners or those for a keen eye for suspension could take a look at the attached pics for me and give me their opinions? Help is greatly appreciated.....

One of the pics belowshows a flash of green through the wheel (is this after market suspenson? If so should I be concerned about anything?

Three [pics] below

green is normally associated with TEINS suspension

Yeah I thought that the green colour wouldn't be a factory item in any of the suspension parts, so maybe like you said I might be lucky.

Does anyone know exactly what that green thing is in the picture? (technical term, like is it the coils?)

BTW Thanks for the nice comments on the car (its at compliance ATM then detailers, I'm told its mine in 2 weeks)

The green thing should be the strut.

Ok great thanks for that!

N15mo I got to see the car in the flesh a couple of days ago and took about 25 photos with my cyber-shot. Since then I've been going over everything again.

Another question on this matter then, if the car is fitted with a better aftermarket suspension would the compliancers have any reason to take them off or exchange them etc? Better make sure I get everything I can, I asked to have my Xenons kept and they said that they have to change them for compliance, fair enough. But then I asked them If I could get them put into a box and given back to me and was told that they have to cut them out some how to replace them and they would be worthless? I dont know the truth in that but anyhow?

    • @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.
    • @Kinkstaah I've got my list.. but most of them is to do if I ever win the lotto
