salad Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 (edited) i just got a front pair of these shocks revalved for stiffer springs etc, and they are AMAZING. ive had japanese coilovers (tanabe) before, ive borrowed my mates cheap and nasty HSDs and now ive got bilsteins, they are so much better than anything else ive had. both more comfortable and handle heaps better cant wait to take em out to the track!

I noticed better handlin when it was 10-15mm higher but i prefer the low look. Shoot, where to start............just a short list of stuf that your are risking; 1. Drive shaft breakage is possible 2. CV joints will wear very fast (they are also soaking up extra power due to the extreme angles) 3. Steering tie rods (front and rear) are under extreme loads 4. Every single bush in the front and rear suspension will wear out excessively fast 5. The strut towers will eventually crack (both front and rear) due to the lack of bump absortion 6. The rear cradle will crack around the upper and lower control arm joints also due to the lack of bump absorbtion 7. You will suffer poor traction, so it won't stop or accelerate anywhere near its potential 8. The front and rear windscreens are stressed members, so they will eventually crack as well 9. Every electronic component is being subject to higher than its design levels of NVH, so they will eventually start to fail one by one 10. Your chiropractor will make a small fortune fixing your lower back problems That's pretty much the major items, there are quite a few minor ones of course, but I think you get the drift. cheers Edited October 17, 2006 by Sydneykid Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/85591-r32-gtst-whiteline-bilstein-suspension/page/9/#findComment-2588578 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydneykid Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) Alright Gary... whats the lowest i can be without stressing the suspension etc too much?? Dont tell me 330mm coz thats heaps hahaha I use camber correction as the first measuring stick as to how much a car can be lowered. When the camber gets grossly excessive, then you know you have lowered it too far. This is what is usually needed for each height increment, note that all measurements are centre of wheel to guard; Standard (new) height is 380 mm front and 370 mm rear 360/350 mm needs only the standard rear camber adjusters 350/340 mm needs 1 front camber kit and 1 rear camber kit 340/330 mm needs I front camber kit and 2 rear camber kits Using that rule of thumb, 340 mm front and 330 mm rear is a low as I would go, keeping in mind that they handle best at around 350/340. So even at 340/330 you are sacrificing handling for looks. cheers Edited October 18, 2006 by Sydneykid Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/85591-r32-gtst-whiteline-bilstein-suspension/page/9/#findComment-2593333 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WazR32GTSt Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 SK, will the shocks work on standard gtst springs? and just to confirm that they are height adjustable? what's the advantage of going to the whiteline springs also? i want something that i can adjust about 20mm lower, but put back to standard if i need to but i also want the ride to be comfortable as this car probably won't ever see track work and finally, just confirming that the price is for a pair? so a set of 4 shocks will be around $1140? thanks, Warren Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/85591-r32-gtst-whiteline-bilstein-suspension/page/9/#findComment-2610506 Share on other sites More sharing options...
