Sydneykid Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 ^ will this be addressed in future kits? Nope, we haven't found that the brackets are necessary on the Road and Track kit, as most guys doing track work have changed to braided hoses all the way to the calliper. The brackets are there on the Road Kit of course. cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153389-200sx-s15-bilstein-whiteline-eibach-noltec-suspension/page/6/#findComment-3224157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydneykid Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 A few comments; Coil overs can't fix suspension geometry problems when you lower a 200SX too far. Hence it doesn't matter what brand of coil over over you use, anything below the recomended heights will most certainly result in geometry issues. Stick to a sensible height and you will have a great handling vehicle with good ride comfort. The "metallic noise" previously mentioned was a loose sub woofer crashing around in the boot and the spare wheel well, which had no spare wheel in it. The bump stops are 80 mm when untrimmed. The trimming ratio is not 1 to 1, we need to have more bump stop available to absorb the impact the lower the chassis is. Otherwise there is potential for the shock to bottom out. The theory (of 1 to 1) means that 80 mm lowering = zero bump stop, which is pretty silly. Obviously we use a ratio for bump stop trimming that is less than 1 to 1. I have spoken to Chris at Centreline and he is happy that there are no issues with the kit as supplied. cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153389-200sx-s15-bilstein-whiteline-eibach-noltec-suspension/page/6/#findComment-3224188 Share on other sites More sharing options...

eron Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) The "metallic noise" previously mentioned was a loose sub woofer crashing around in the boot and the spare wheel well, which had no spare wheel in it. Well, not exactly. My rear is 355mm now and there's still a pretty loud metallic noise when going over hard/high bumps. Then for the fronts, which is 355mm at the moment, occasionally, I get a little creaking when steering is under stress. Or when going over undulated road surfaces. Other than that, at the ride height, it's fantastic!

eron Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Just realised that morph got the "s15 specialized" Noltec Strut top, while I got the "stock" Noltec ones. Why?

Sydneykid Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Sorry for the delay in responding, especially to PM's. The video card in my home PC died and it took me 4 days to find out what it was and fix it. So I am about 110 PM's behind at the moment and trying hard to catch up. Add that to the workload at Superior Suspension (12 to 14 hours a day, 6 days a week) and it will take me a few days to answer everyone. Hang in there, if you have transferred money, it's safe, I am not going to run off to Brazil with it. You won't miiss out, the Group Buy isn't going to end soon as I have spent some time with Bilstein securing the shock supply for a couple of months at least. Advanced warning, I am off to the US for 5 weeks from 1st October to 5th November. Checking out some east coast action, Detroit, Chicago, Daytona and the SEMA show in Vegas. So when I don't respond to PM's or emails in that period, I am sure you will understand why. cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153389-200sx-s15-bilstein-whiteline-eibach-noltec-suspension/page/6/#findComment-3272730 Share on other sites More sharing options...
