R32 GT-R Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Why? cheers D Even the super streets which are designed for aussie roads? I'm looking at a set of these in the comming months. I want somthing that is comfortableish for cruising around but gives the car good feel for thoose range runs stock suspension has to much body roll for my liking.

R32Abuser Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 You want to get rid of body roll, dont go looking for getting coilovers. These coilovers with high spring rates as give u nothing but the shittest ride around. If you want to get rid of body roll, go for upgrading your sway bars. I highly recommend SydneyKid's group buy for Bilstein Shocks, Whiteline accesories, or at least speak to him bout it.

ISC-Performance Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 if you want to reduce bodyroll then do your strut bars/sway bars first then go coilovers.Get the spring rates you desire. the harder the rates the stiffer the car is but for some this = uncomftable personal preference really.

dangerous_daveo Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Well I got a price of $2500 supplied and fitted, alined etc for the 'aussie' spec teins from Fulcrum. That was the works in terms of the suspension gear its self, no camber or castor kits. SKs set up came in a fair bit cheaper. In my case anyway. That and I feel I have a better quality product.

dangerous_daveo Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 lookng 4 options any sugestionsn allredy have sway bars etc' I did too. So sway bars werent included in that price. I wanted a proper fix as I had rebuilt jap coilovers to aussie road spec, and 3 of those failed. I didnt really want to replace the stuff again. So after my own research and a long conversation (and a few shorter ones ) with SK I decided that for what I wanted the bilstiens were the best and most cost effective (not cheapest, but the service life would seem longer than jap coilovers) option. Reason for getting them through SK over anyone else is he is and will be the cheapest, unless you get lucky and find someone who has ordered the wrong shocks and is trying to flog them off cheap. Id talk to SK, read the shock 101 thats sticked in this forum, ring say fulcrum and talk to them (they are a tein dealer and do have a 2 year warrenty or something). Then make your own then educated decision on which way to go. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/126129-tein/#findComment-2331977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Well my Bilsteians after about 5 or 6 years of faithful service are coming out. Last inpection about 24 months ago had them in perfect health. I cant makeup my mind on another shock, they are all too much money to find im not happy with the buy, so in the next 4-6 weeks they will be coming out and be stripped down and rebuilt. New higher rate springs and converted to fully height adjustable. Will report back on what the shock condition was before rebuild, im guessing they will are fine... Still works out cheaper then even the basic bottom of the range adjustable coil overs available on the market. Though if someone wants to save me the agro and sell me their new still in box HKS Hyper Max II for cheap then i will buy them Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/126129-tein/#findComment-2332060 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo32 Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 what about the tein flex and what does base adjustable mean Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/126129-tein/#findComment-2332323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Base adjustment? I take it as meaning that you can adjust the ride height of the car with an adjustable lwoer spring seat, the threaded bit. At the end of the days, its all a matter of personal preference and what you do with your car. Some swear bv a certain brand, others dont care. Im more the dont care what brand it is...im just sensitive to the fact that overall im pretty happy with the Whiteline kit i h ave and dont want to spend thousands on something that wont make me go any quicker over 1 lap at the track...plus i seriously doubt that i would be able to actually go quicker because of better suspension. Odds are what feels quicker to me is slower So, thats me. You need to think about what you want from your car and what expense you are willing to pay. The fact that your looking for a really good price on Teins suggests that you are motivated by budget like me, so best advice is go for a drive in a few other GTSts and see what you like the feel of. If you just want a nicer handling car with good ride, then you cannot go past Whiteline Swaybars witha good alignment. Thats about the only thing i know for sure Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/126129-tein/#findComment-2332343 Share on other sites More sharing options...

2BNVS Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 ive had the tein h/a's for almost 4 years, they are firm ( roughly middle setting, so they can go alot harder or softer) some ppl find them too hard, some dont mind, im personally used to it, and i prefer hard suspension it makes me feel more in control of the car, i get 0 bodyroll and i have stock sway bars etc, just comes down to what u like, the flex or super street might be a better option which would have gotten but they werent out when i got mine and a bonus u can have the edfc hooked up to them as well, as with the H/A's u cant ben...
