Just want to see what everyones preferences are on choosing coilovers, for a budget say $2000.

Car is R34 Gtt, 260rwkw, 80% street use and 20% circuit.

HKS Hypermax II. Height and damp adjustable, from Nengun $2000 EMS delivered.

Sydneykid Bilstein & Whiteline Suspension $2200 for the full kit, you get a lot more than just coilovers but delivery is subject stock.

TEIN - Super Street. Height and damp adjustable, from Nengun $1500 EMS delivered.

Flying Performance TEIN SKYLINE COILOVER SUSPENSION $1899 + $40 P&H (not sure of specs)

Nismo - S Tune - Suspension Kit. Hardness adjustable. $1770 EMS delivered Nengun.

Just Jap G4 Racing Street Spec Coilovers, Spring rate: 13 (F) 8.7 ® Kg/mm 36 way damper & height adjustable. $1299 pickup in Sydney.

Thanks.

Definitely Whiteline/Bilstein groupbuy.

As you said it's not just coilovers and it's everything working together in a suspension system that makes it great, not one single component

Why aren't Commodores fast when you put coilovers in them?

I went with Tein type flex from nengun and adj. whiteline swaybars, sydneykids kit is suposed to work really well but i wanted my car to go lower than the springs that he uses. i like my setup but could be a bit stiff for some ppl

Ive heard the S tune nismos are one of the best around.. Soft yet really good on track.. Ill be buying SS from nengun.. seems to be one of the cheaper alternatives and everyone has reported excellent handling and dampening

I've got the TEIN Type Flex in mine along with a few other bits of suspension goodness... makes the car solid like a rock (feel every ripple on the road) but that's the way I like it.

Handles like it's on rails as well.

The only downside is that your passengers will soon get rather annoyed with the ride quality as they cannot possible pre-empt each time the car "bumps"

oh. and forget the G4s. 13Kg front and 8.7kg rear is INSANE. especially with twin tube dampers that will have no hope in hell of controlling a spring that heavy. I run 10kg front and 8kg rear in a GTR and even with top of the line ohlins with remote gas canisters and seperate bump and rebound adjustment (600 settings per shock) they are still too hard for street or track.

Greddy TYPE S is an obvious omision from that list. Engineered and developed for street and track by Takeshi Tsuchiya GT500 and GT300 fame.

ER34 run 8kg front 6kg rear $1999 retail (aimed as a competitor for TEIN RA (one step above FLEX) for specs)

monotube 46mm pistons variable rate springs etc etc

Looks interesting.

I see from the Tein site that they have replaced the RA model with the "Mono Flex" which spec wise looks similar to the GReddy unit above.

Would be interested to hear some feedback on both of these products.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
