Suspension Package

[Kor'axis]

I really have no idea what is involved in a suspension system. As far as i know you have shocks and springs. What my question is what is the difference if you get a shockers and spring or just get coilovers (i don't really know what they are)

I always thought coilovers was a collective term for shockers and springs?

Thanks

(i think i'monly having a problem with terminology)

coil = coil springs

overs = springs mounted around the outside of the shock

Some people use the term "coil overs" to mean "height adjustable"

Non height adjustable (STANDARD) R32/33/34 Skyline springs and shocks are "coil overs"

These are the shocks in my 32 GTR

Non height adjustable, car rides like go kart, cannot move car by pushing down on guard.

Cant imagine a factory car riding like that.

Standard...?

Ahhhh............no!

It looks like ~14mm wire in those coils (standard is 12mm). Something around 400 lbs per inch, that's around a 230% increase over standard. A guide is the usual upgrade for 25 mm lowering is 30%.

so coil-overs do not include shockers?
