Standard Suspension

[Mumbo#5]

Hi all

I was just wondering.. I have coil-overs (adjustable) fitted to my r33. I want to get rid of them becuase where I live (cairns) the roads are absolute sh!t. Would going back to standard super low suspension make the ride more bareable? I find im LOSING grip due to skipping around semi bumpy corners..

Also I would like to trade all 4 coil-overs for standard super lows (be nice if they were new :lol:)

I will have no problem fitting them as I have access to a fully equipped workshop.

Thanks guys

You should also take a look at the Group Buy on at the moment on Whiteline. Bilstein suspension that I have specified for Australian conditions.

Just a quick comment - because I think ^^^^ has given you a good option, but super low springs are usually "show items" in the King Spring range (according to the website). They recommend for best performance just going to Low springs (20-30mm lower than stock) for performance.

Anyway just something to think about. You should also look at the spring rates and try to find matched dampers or shocks.

PS. just going off things I have read lately - I just ordered some D2 coilovers for my silvia but with 5.5kg front and 3.5kg rear (2kg lighter than norm) spring ratings specifically for Townsville conditions which are much the same as cairns.

yeh tru.. hey SK the shocks are the strut right? (thing that holds the spring).. maybe its just im used to calling them struts. Im also guessing the ones u have specified are matched with the spring rates (shocks)?.

And yeh t'ville is much the same as cairns roads.. cept townsvilles are slightly better :)

Yep, for the Group Buys I have specified the Bilstein shock valving to suite the spring rates, the vehicle weight and Australian roads.
