Changing Suspension

[Anakha]

Hey guys, I've been looking through the forum but havn't had any luck on any1 actually talking about DIY suspension swap. I'm just wondering on the difficulty on swapping the rears in my 32 gts-t.

Cheers in advance!

Oh, I'm changing from a set of JIC adjustables to stock GTR (the coilovers are done for)

im changing my coilovers now too haha and the bolts (sorry dont kno exact term) are a bitch to take out so i gave up

hey, its a fairly easy process, undo the bolt on the bottom of the strut and then undo the top two bolts at top of strut, then simply slide old strut out and new strut in. and if your planning on putting stock r32 gtr struts into a r32 gtst its not going to fit anyway as they have different bottoms. if you need a price on some new coilovers for either a set or a pair contact me via my website below

thanks,ryan

Hey I see what you mean? Your talking bout the different bolt sizes? How stupid!!

Would I be moronic even contemplating to widen the holes on the GTR struts?

Its got nothing to do with the bolt size...one looks like this

GTST

GTR

As you can see the GTST has an eyelet, the GTR a completely different arrangement

[Anakha]

Ya, so theres no way to make the GTR ones fit? Sry I'm not too knowledgable about suspension..

[Roy]

Some suspension components are kinda modular, so you can just swap the bottom section from eyelet to fork arrangement...or you can swap the entire GTST cradle for a GTR one???

I think it sbetter to just buy the correct replacement rear shock...

Yeah just got a new set of cheap rears. Decided it was easiest. Now when I get a new set a bit down the track I can have a set of rears and whole set of GTRs to sell.

Cheers for the help guys
