Ryno Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 ryno have u rolled your guards yet? tyre might rub on the guards Hey mate, There was no need for me to roll my gaurds, as they're not rubbing anywhere. I went down to 225/45R17's on the front so they wouldn't rub on the upper arm, but the rears are still 235/45R17's.

patto1234 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hey SK What is the lowest setting that the car will sit at? I.e. how many mm from guard to centre of the wheel will the car be at on the lowest setting in the lowest groove? I am trying to determine how much lower my car can go, as I am trying to avoid getting new springs and mucking up the current set up.

I am trying to determine how much lower my car can go, as I am trying to avoid getting new springs and mucking up the current set up. With the Whitleine coils and 5 extra grooves they will go to ~320 mm at the front and ~310mm at the rear. I can have extra grooves machined if you want, a few of the guys have done that for shows. As always I have to mnetion that anything under 350 mm will give reduced handling and decreased ride comfort. The dynamic camber angles go to hell, bump steer front and rear occurs, traction is reduced, the extra drive shaft angles soak up power and there is simply not enough travel to absorb the bumps. Some people are willing to sacrifice that for looks, each to his own. cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/85591-r32-gtst-whiteline-bilstein-suspension/page/7/#findComment-2080006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russco Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) Guys, just fitted Gary's kit to my GTST & it is the best $1700 I've spent on my car. This is a very well sorted package & the results certainly exceeded my expectations, to be honest I think you could spend $4 or $5k elsewhere & not achieve the same result. Anyone considering upgrading their suspension would be mad to go past this package. Thanks again Gary! UPDATE: This suspension reduced my PB lap time by 3.25 seconds (QR CLubman circuit)!

Sydneykid Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) extra grooves machined ?? whats this ? The Bilstein shocks come with a circlip retained lower spring seat. By machining extra circlip grooves it enables the exact height to be selected prior to fitting the shock/spring set. The circlip groove settings give pre determined heights that I have tested on a number of Skylines. Slight variations from vehicle to vehicle as usual. cheers Edited April 28, 2006 by Sydneykid Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/85591-r32-gtst-whiteline-bilstein-suspension/page/7/#findComment-2122936 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russco Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Guys, this suspension alone knocked off 4.5 seconds from my time at Qld Raceway (Sprint layout) - you will not get a better sorted suspension for the price!

ellie Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Gary, you've been offering this great package for almost a year now but I just wanted to check if it will still be going in approx. 2 months when some money comes back to me?

Cheers Yep, from memory it started in September. We stopped for a month or so when Bilstein ran out in December/January. Then Bilstein Germany sent over some via airfreight, so we could restart it again. I have recently closed the R32GTR Group Buy as there are no R32GTR front Bilsteins left until the next production run. I know you are asking when the R32GTST Bilsteins will run out, the answer is I have no idea. Sometimes Bilstein sell 1 set a week, but the R32GTR's sold 10 sets in 2 weeks. Hence all goooooone. My suggestion would be (same as a few guys have done) put down a $400 deposit to secure the Bilsteins, then pay the rest when you have it. cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/85591-r32-gtst-whiteline-bilstein-suspension/page/7/#findComment-2265265 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cln Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Just checked my front tires for the first time in a while and the insides of each are down to the metal strips :\!. Looking at them its asif the tires dont sit straight down instead they angle out. Whats worn? I presume a full kit will fix this?
