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.

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.

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 :P ) 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.

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 ;)

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 :D

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

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
