I am only new around here, but have a strong background in motocross and understand suspension, and what is trying to be achieved inside a shock, and the physics that are working against you. I also have a 33 GTR that I am looking at setting up, more predominantly for track, but still street registered never the less. I can highly recommend reading throughly the sticky's that have been written by SydneyKid, and then contacting him directly. I dont know him, have only emailed him, but I can tell you that he KNOWS suspension. I have been scouring the internet recently trying to get some real info on suspension, and this was, in my opinion, the first real piece of info that I have got. Knowing what I know now, there is no way that I would go anywhere near any cheap coilovers, especially if you want your car to handle properly. To be honest, I was amazed that so many chinese made coilovers had flooded the market over the recent years, and obviously done so through sales numbers. I am sure that car handling would go severly backwards once a set of these "cheap" coilovers were installed, regardless of what so many "apparent" happy owners claim. Sure, they may be better than a flogged out set of old springs and shocks, or a cheap way to achieve a drift set up, but that is about all in my opinion. Seriously, any set of coilovers are still a fair chunk of money, so I suggest doing some more research and then making up your own mind. I know which way I will be going when I order my new suspension and chassis adjustment components. Good luck.
