Hey boys, firstly... look at the attatched pic....

dont tell me my R33 doesnt need lowering somthing shokkin....

I'm thinking of dropping in Lovell Super Lows with new Shocks all round......

does anyone have these springs in their R33? or is everyone now a days going for the Coil-overs?

I might just get a set for the rear and drop them in and see if it levels the whole car out because at the moment it looks like it leans to the front slightly.....

So if anyone could send me some pics of their R33 with some Lovell Super lows or whatever in it that would be great...

What does everyone think i should do?

Any advice appreciated...

to tell you the truth...with the money you are going to spend on aftermarket shocks and springs and all the bits and peices needed.....you might as well buy coilovers and you can always change the height and most have camber features and more....

you wont have camber adjustment from coilovers, cos skylines have double wishbone suspension instead of macpherson strut.

get sydneykid's group buy on suspension

how much is your budget to lower your car?

well this is what i was thinking.... it already has Pedders Sports Rider suspension, i was going to ditch teh springs and get some lower ones....

i can get Lovell Super Lows front adn rears for $200, i know a guy.....

so what do you think about that idea?

post-26024-1152488385.jpgi have the lows not the super lows with 17 inch rims and i reckon mine sits nice

hey thast sits at a good height....., did u see my car? it looks a little high in the rear...

just for interest sake, i wonder how low the super lows take it.....?

Just to throw something else in the mix for you to think about, Lovells are a fantastic spring maker, BUT i think you MAY find that Lovells spring rate is a touch softer then standard. ??? Good for looks, but drivabillity and handling may be affected in a "not so good" way perhaps. get your guy to check that out as lovells probably wont tell you the rates.

    • thanks mate, one of the reasons I even bought it to be fair.
    • I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.
    • Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)
    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
    • I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it.
